Pat Rye

After skirting the perimeter of Algoma's elite, Pat Rye joined TFP staff
8 years ago.

Pat's lathe of life has turned her from a hairdresser to lunch lady to
junk dealer to barista.

She is our favorite employee.

Pat Bopray

Pat wandered into TFP opening day as an art advocate, collector and avid gardener.

After a 32 year stint teaching elementary art Pat decided to enjoy the spa-style life known as retail and joined our staff 3 seasons ago.

She is our favorite employee.

Alyce Weber

It was a natural match when Alyce walked into our gardens and asked if we needed someone to prune, shape, weave and shear.

A librarian during the week, Alyce has worked her magic in our gardens each weekend May-September 4 seasons running.

She is our favorite employee.

Marcy Perlewitz

Quite the commute for this Laona living maven!

Camped out in her sister's (Pat Rye) basement  for the last 5 seasons, Marcy rules the front counter trying to undo Robyn's failings at the cashwrap and inventory control.

She is our favorite employee.

Donna Shulze-Straka

A short bike commute brings this Algoma science teacher
to our gardens each week for 2 seasons now.

Donna initiates guerrilla gardening tactics to fend off towering weeds
and aggressive growers. It is a jungle out there!

She is our favorite employee.
