About Ramona:
Ramona Aston has been gardening on family land since she returned to Quadra fourteen years ago. She loves to get excited about a new approach or technique in her garden, and is often trying something new while bringing forward what has worked for her in the past. Learning about the interconnectedness between bacterial, fungal, creature, and plant relationships struck a chord with Ramona and her gardening has been a series of projects to encourage these relationships ever since. As a result, she has seen improvements in plant health and growth. In addition, Ramona is always falling in love with flowers and the potential in seeds, and hopes to grow the seed-saving culture on Quadra.
