TODD RAINEY
What is your role in the GROW Program?
Technical Instructor for the GROW New Entrant Training Program
What do you like most about your role?
It is a great opportunity to share my many years of industry knowledge. I love working hands on with the participants and watching them GROW.
What do you enjoy doing outside of work?
When I’m not gardening, I enjoy playing tennis, biking, skiing and travel.
What is a plant that you would like to grow or see more of?
A plant that I like to see used in a landscape is the Amelanchier canadensis, Serviceberry. A great white flower in the spring followed by a red to purplish edible berry. The round-shaped leaves are a medium green colour throughout the season and change to brilliant yellow to red for the fall.
