Episodes

  • Common Garden Pests
    Feb 11 2026

    Gardening In Canada is where science meets soil. Host Ashley, a soil scientist and lifelong plant lover, breaks down gardening through a Canadian lens—short seasons, wild weather, and all.

    Each episode dives into evidence‑based, practical tips for gardening in Canada’s unique climates:

    • How to work with your soil, not against it
    • Science‑backed ways to start seeds, fertilize, and water
    • Growing food and ornamentals indoors and out
    • Using tools and tech like plant sensors to better understand your plants
    • Making the most of short summers and long winters

    Ashley’s background in Soil Science from the University of Saskatchewan keeps things accurate; her years of hands‑on gardening keep things real. Whether you’re on a balcony in the city, a tiny backyard in the suburbs, or an acreage on the Prairies, you’ll get clear, down‑to‑earth guidance you can actually use.

    Ashley has had a passion for plants since she was a small child. In the long summers as a child, she would garden alongside her grandmother and it was then that she realized her love for greenery. With years of great studying, Ashley had begun her post-secondary education at the University of Saskatchewan.

    At first, her second love, animals, was the career path she chose but while doing her undergrad she realized that her education would take her elsewhere. And with that, four years later she graduated from the University of Saskatchewan with a bachelor’s degree in science and a major in Soil Science.

    Some of Ashley’s interests are YouTube, in which she posts informative videos about plants and gardening. The focus of Ashley’s YouTube channel is to bring science to gardening in a way that is informative but also helpful to others learning to garden. She also talks about the importance of having your own garden and the joys of gardening indoors. Ashley continues to study plants in her free time and hopes to expand her YouTube channel as well as her reach to up-and-coming gardeners.
