Nancy
Bremner
Nancy has been enthralled with nature since she was a young girl.
She was a Manitoba Parks Interpreter for 10 years, which allowed her
to teach people about the natural and cultural heritage of Manitoba.
Her interest in the ornamental and medicinal properties of plants
grew while adding to her program skills as a Park Interpreter.
Pinawa is situated
along the historic Winnipeg River in a boreal mixed woods area surrounded
by Precambrian rock. Upon moving to Pinawa in 1994, being impressed
with the natural beauty of the landscape, Nancy and her husband
opted out of having any fences to allow the deer, wolves, foxes,
coyotes, bear, raccoons and skunks to wonder through their yard.
It soon became evident that an experimental approach was needed
to gardening as many plants deemed deer proof were in fact deer
fodder. Nancy took up the challenge of ornamental flower gardening
and continues to try new types of seeds every year.
