Shifting opnergsparedcetinviensg with horticulturalist and instructor Jeff DeJong By Therese Eley, Marketing Services “Gardening is verk!” That began Jeff’s journey into horticulture and landscape design. After earning his A t least that is what horticulturalist and Continuing Studies degree in horticulture at Olds College, he instructor Jeff DeJong grew up hearing from his Dutch taught there for a while before moving immigrant parents. to BC. When he first arrived in BC, he took a job working at a garden “My parents were always gardeners—my dad did vegetables, centre. my mom did flowers, and us kids were always told to just stay out of the way. We were never allowed to participate in the “The plant selection and the types gardening. We were told to stay out of the plants and just of plants are just so much more behave ourselves,” he laughs. So, the thought of gardening numerous on the west coast than never really appealed to him growing up. “It always sounded they are in the prairies. That was a real so horrible! I thought ‘why would I ever want to do it?’” Jeff eye-opener and a very good experience recalls. for me because you have to learn your plants very quickly in order to help people in the service That is until, as an adult, he took a job working with a woman industry. But I was still always interested in teaching, and who had a renowned alpine garden in Calgary. It was she I did take on teaching the Master Gardener program at the who really opened his eyes to what gardening could be. “You Horticultural Centre of the Pacific. I also do numerous talks for can really enjoy it—you can be outside, you can be in nature clubs all over Vancouver Island.” and you can accomplish something. That is gardening too!” he remembers her saying. “That sort of opened up a whole other perspective for me and allowed me to explore my own interest in gardening. It was her influence on me that showed me that gardening is joyful. It’s not work. You do activities that can be strenuous at times, but if you’re not enjoying what you’re doing, then why do it? That was her take.” 54
About six years ago, Jeff began teaching with “I was very hesitant to do this course because landscape Continuing Studies at UVic. He enjoys it because, design is a difficult thing to teach; it uses both your right brain and your left brain. Some parts of the course are like gardening, “It’s not static, it’s something that very analytical—you have to use a scale ruler and do is ever-changing. People are always excited measurements and figure out calculations—and then you to hear about something new and that keeps flip over and all of a sudden you’re talking about what them excited about the topic of gardening or colours and what plants look good together, and what is the horticulture.” Although he teaches a variety of overall feeling of the garden.” gardening courses each term, his new Landscape Design of the Pacific Northwest “It’s a real challenge to teach this course in person and I online course brings him a thought it would be impossible to do it online, but it actually particular sense of pride. worked better. One reason was because we could access people from all over Vancouver Island and even the mainland, people who would not be able to take this course if they had to attend in person. It’s like a whole different type of class we’ve created and it’s the result of COVID. I think we’ve improved the course and made it more accessible for the public.” Although he’s thrilled with the success of the online course, Jeff is excited to get back to face-to-face teaching as well. “For me, as an extrovert, I’m dying to see the ‘aha moments’ in peoples’ eyes. I like to get that feedback and know that I’m getting through,” he says. Even when he’s not working on projects or teaching, Jeff enjoys spending his down time in nature: gardening, taking photos or practicing his watercolour painting. He finds happiness in the absence of things, finding moments to enjoy total stillness. He feels we’d all be happier if we could focus on being “human beings” instead of “human doings.” 55
