Meet the gardeners

Claudette Sims
Claudette Sims, a retired educator, has been a member of Halton Region Master Gardeners since 2005 and is proud to be Vice President of Master Gardeners of Ontario. She is passionate about gardening and loves to attract and observe wildlife in her garden. Over the years, she's gained a better appreciation of the role and beauty of native plants in our gardens.
Donna Parker
Donna Parker, a retired educator with a background in Environmental Science, has been a Master Gardener since 2000.
She has worked with woody plants at Sheridan Nursery and had her own garden design and consultation business in the greater Hamilton area.

Donna gardens in Ancaster and loves the challenge of designing and creating beauty among the wonderful old trees.
Marie Clarke-Davies
Marie Clarke-Davies, an executive producer at CBC News and has been involved with Halton Master Gardeners since 2009. Her passions are creating bird—and pollinator—friendly gardens and working with native plants, though she admits to a weak spot for the garden designs of Japan and Italy.
