Speaker Debra Dellanina-Alvarez is life-long gardener and has always had a passion for being out-of-doors and amongst nature.  She has an overwhelming desire to venture out and immerse herself in gardens and green spaces as these are the places where she feels stress simply melt away. She began a joyful, restorative journey through both public and private gardens throughout the U.S. and this has inspired the program “Saved by the Garden:  Tales of a Gardener’s Journey”.
