Bio
As a member of the Master Gardeners of Ottawa-Carleton since 2020, Mary Crawford enjoys speaking to groups and writing articles for the Master Gardeners’ Trowel Talk newsletter. She has loved gardening and traveling for as long as she can remember, like her father’s doing. When Mary’s like-minded sister started chatting about the High Line Park in New York City, they hatched an idea for a trip together with some major garden inspiration. They obtained permission to do a photo shoot at the High Line in the fall of 2023 and Mary is very happy to share her findings.
