Originally from Toronto, Stephanii** moved to British Columbia in 2008. After years of working in gardens in Toronto and the West Coast, she/xe launched her/xyr own business, Garden Elf, in 2013. With a background in Environmental Studies, Art History, and Communications, Stephanii has spent many years studying, and working under 6 Master Gardeners. Collectively she/xe has 15+ years of gardening experience, among other distinctions in the field. She/Xe has a variety of interests including permaculture, food systems, and foraging, and she/xe encourages her/xyr clients to consider these things too. After working in a number of industries over the years, Stephanii continued to return to the garden. She/xe is always looking to develop greener, more sustainable practices, and over the next few years, hopes to convert her/xyr primary mode of transportation for the business to bicycle and trailer.

Her/Xyr biggest passion is to explore our relationship with Nature and how it gives us context and meaning in our lives. **Stephanii was assigned female at birth and often presents as such socially, but identifies as genderfluid and uses Xe, Xem, Xey & Xyr pronouns in addition to She/Her. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0f4c891d703b1d8d4a0827/1596041844732-QSVOKPOZF2GTSYI440N9/_MG_7723%2Bcopy.jpg Home - Ongoing Seasonal Maintenance https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0f4c891d703b1d8d4a0827/1596041953183-PPSXI727IRQXZP1A8M7Z/_MG_7711%2Bcopy.jpg Home - Design + Planting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0f4c891d703b1d8d4a0827/1596042688100-NC4DXW96JAGCZWQWEV49/35350058_428197360982500_583324913201315840_o.jpg Home - Garden Restoration https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5f0f4c891d703b1d8d4a0827/1596042561050-C31VCJ4KTD22ZKHZK9FU/_MG_7707%2Bcopy.jpg Home - Community Partners https://www.gardenelf.ca/new-page daily 0.75 2025-05-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5cdae76bd7819e38bb6f256f/1559681859098-9YS627NSAY45ZHU5E1TV/Stocksy_txp824ffa5crXt000_Large_934911.jpg Classes - Basic Strength Training Sun 1pm - 2pm Work off that Sunday brunch or train for an obstacle course race!
