Heather's Garden - Heather Stanley

I am a self taught gardener with the help of great books and magazines such as those published by Meredith Companies of which I own several. I have been recruited by many acquaintances to help redesign or enliven their landscapes. I have also been accepted into the University of Minnesota Master Gardener Program which I will begin in January and am enthusiastically planning to open my own gardening business in the Spring of 2011.

I have also written training materials for a new restaurant including the Employee Handbook, Food Safety, Alcohol Safety, Pre-opening and Post-opening training materials. I have almost twenty years of expertise in the food service industry including management, training and development, guest service and food and alcohol safety.
