Beckie gardens in Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ont., and loves spreading the joy of gardening. A long-time writer and editor, Beckie was on the editorial team of Canadian Gardening magazine for its first decade from its launch in 1990 until becoming its editor from 1999 to 2001 when it was owned by Avid Media.

An interest in container gardening evolved into her book, The Potted Garden: Creating a Great Container Garden, published in 2002 by Prentice Hall Canada. Beckie enjoys speaking at garden clubs, garden centres and home shows in Ontario. She has taught gardening courses at George Brown College and Toronto Botanical Garden, and has studied horticulture through the University of Guelph.
