Toni Leitgab, our speaker on Tuesday, Oct. 8 at 10 a.m. at Sunnyvale Town Hall, is a native Dallasite who loves plants. She grew up listening to Howard Garrett on the radio and watching her grandmother pickle vegetables from her garden. She later bought her first houseplant and planted her first veggie patch in college in Denton in 2000. Since then she’s had houseplants and gardens everywhere she’s lived – from State College, Pennsylvania to Long Island, New York, to Houston and back to Dallas again. Toni worked for independent garden centers for several years and has taken numerous courses on indoor and outdoor gardening. She is currently working towards becoming a certified Dallas County Master Gardener. Toni’s favorite thing about gardening is there’s always a beautiful plant you haven’t seen before and always more to learn!
