Alison comes from a background of greenhouse management; first building then operating a wholesale specialty plant nursery in Bellingham, WA in the early 80’s. Inspired to grow herbs and edibles without dangerous pesticides and with limited industry information available, Alison looked to the Canadian grower network nearby for tools. Beneficial insects produced on nearby Vancouver Island were available, so the biocontrol journey began there. After 20 years of research in beneficial insect use, compost tea brewing, designing soil blends and other green growing methods, she began Sound Horticulture in 2000. Her passion for holistic cultivation fuels and encourages her company’s broad aspirations; bringing biological solutions from years of experience to large scale crop management, greenhouse ornamentals, hydroponics and more.

For the 2021 Legislative Session The Cannabis Alliance will be hosting an ongoing series of speakers and discussion around our four key bills being introduced this session.

For many patients securing DOH compliant – true medical grade product – is extremely complicated. When they are able to secure a consistent supply of medicine often the quantities they require are cost prohibitive. Our panel will discuss how removing the excise tax for patients on DOH compliant products will affect those who most need cannabis.

Like all of our subjects in this webinar series we will be hosting a panel of experts in Remo with a Q&A portion of the panel, as well as a replay and separate Q&A in Zoom. We hope you will join us for these discussions!
