About Yvonne:
I grew up on a farm with a large vegetable garden. I hold degrees in Music Education (Heidelberg University) and Educational Administration (University of Dayton). I taught middle school for 9 years before becoming an elementary school principal for 14 years. All those past experiences provided a good foundation for my work at Toledo GROWs. I started here in 2013 as Program Manager – at a time when we were a program of Toledo Botanical Garden. In 2017 we became a stand-alone organization (TBG became part of the Metroparks System), and I took over as the Executive Director.
At Toledo GROWs, we believe that all should have access to fresh, healthful food. As we provide support for 105 community gardens in and around the city, we remove barriers so all in our community can have access.
