Karen Hodgson

Karen’s love of planet earth led her down the gardening path. With a background in marketing environmental programs, she volunteered at UBC Farm and met Sharon while volunteering at the Queen Alexandra School food garden. Karen is living proof that even a novice gardener can enjoy the fruits or veggies of her success the first season.
