Hi, I’m Emony Nicholls and I have worked as an environmental consultant, entrepreneur and biologist for over 25 years.
For seven of those years, I owned and operated a native plant nursery in Ontario; growing plants for, designing, and installing ecological restoration projects in the most easterly tallgrass prairie in North America.
My graduate research at Trent University, where I earned my Master’s of Science in biology, was on the connection between pollinators and plants and how that relationship drives the evolution of plants. As part of my work, I did taxonomic identification of native pollinators during graduate school and fell in love with them for their diversity and individual beauty.
In 2020 I left work with the provincial government as a biologist and now live and work on Salt Spring Island. I am on a mission to empower homeowners on how to support biodiversity by providing habitats in our own back yards.
