Hi! My name is Tara Perrot and I live in Martin’s River, Nova Scotia. Interacting with nature has always been an important part of my life and has taken different forms over the years. Gardening has been part of that for the last 30 years or so and in 2023 I completed the Master Gardener certificate. While I don’t feel a ‘master’ of anything related to gardening, I am passionate about continuing to learn and passing on what I learn. I am entering the next adventure with the purchase of a large greenhouse where I will hold classes to help others with the benefits and how-to of gardening.

All classes will be hands-on but will offer tidbits related to stress reduction and the benefits of good nutrition for our gut health. I have spent the last 24 years studying these topics as part of my career at Dalhousie (https://www.scientia.global/professor-tara-perrot-how-the-early-environment-influences-stress-responses-in-adulthood).
