About the Speaker: Steven Biggs is a journalist and author specializing in gardening, farming and food production. As a life-long gardener, he has gardened wherever he’s lived, planting allotment gardens, container gardens, indoor gardens, and gardens in the overgrown backyards of rental houses.
Along with studying horticultural science at the University of Guelph, he has worked in greenhouse and nursery production, plant propagation, biological controls, horticultural supplies, and farm marketing.
In his garden writing and talks, he favours a practical, no-nonsense, fun approach to things. As a contributing editor for the farm business magazine County Guide, he covers stories in the agricultural community and other parts of the food chain.
Steven’s book No Guff Vegetable Gardening, co-authored with Calgarian Donna Balzer, is a Canadian bestseller.
