Episode 25 | Running a Seasonal Business with Genevieve Jones
Genevieve Jones is the owner/operator of Prairie River Gardens in Saskatoon. She is a landscape designer, nature lover and conflicted entrepreneur. She co-creates gardens and landscapes with her clients and team in and around Saskatoon on Treaty 6 territory. She has a hot/cold relationship with her business and is always seeking inner peace when it comes to being an entrepreneur.
