Instructor: Kathleen Gault

Biography: Kathy Gault comes from a long line of gardeners, and has always loved flowers, gardens, and being in nature. She has been gardening in Central Oregon for over 45 years, and has a great appreciation for - and love of - this unique climate. Despite our short growing season, she has a habit of growing a ridiculous number of tomato varieties in her small garden each year, but her favorite vegetable is probably kale. Her other great love is music. She grew up in a musical family, attended Humboldt State University, and has been part of the Central Oregon music scene since 1974. She is the pianist/keyboardist with the Central Oregon Symphony and Cascade Winds and maintains a private piano studio that includes students of all ages. She also enjoys hiking, Nordic skiing, bicycling, and reading. Kathy has been teaching classes for Continuing Education for over 20 years.
