Ken Salvail’s journey began in the summer of 1979 when he started as a student landscaper. The following year, his interest in horticulture grew as he started a job growing tropical and annual plants, kick-starting his lifelong passion for the industry. With over 40 years of experience in a wide range of horticultural areas, Ken’s expertise has proven to be invaluable to gardeners everywhere. His website, GrowerCoach.com, is a growing concern as a go-to site for garden information.

Ken Salvail continues to work with KHS Landscape Professionals company, which specializes in providing premium horticultural services including landscape maintenance and installation of private gardens in the Okanagan Valley in south-central BC Canada. Even after all these years, Ken remains passionate about gardening and plans on expanding his public speaking events wherever possible in 2025.

Ken loves to share his knowledge and experiences through various mediums, such as blogging, articles, literature, podcasts, videos, pictures, social media and live radio. He brings a wealth of information on trees, shrubs, perennials, weeds, insects, diseases, vegetable crops, landscape and design, composting, irrigation, and more through his website, public speaking events, and videos. Ken has grown thousands of different species of herbaceous perennials in his own perennial production nursery, as well as numerous crops of nursery stock such as trees, shrubs, and aquatic plants. He has completed thousands of landscape designs, and installations and is sought after as a consultant for everything that is gardening.

Ken was a production manager at a cucumber and tomato production greenhouse operation where he built the facilities and grew the crops. He also assisted Don Burnett as nursery manager, at Burnett’s Nurseries in Kelowna, with the production of over 14,000 Poinsettias each year, annual crops, and other interesting greenhouse crops each year. Ken was the main buyer for this operation for several years including purchases made weekly at the Dutch Auction (UFG) for Burnetts Flower Shop and also managed the retail nursery in between time.
Ken was hired as the Perennial Production Manager at Bylands Wholesale Nurseries in 2000 and assisted with the development and construction of their perennial production facility.

Ken’s vast knowledge base of propagation is highlighted by his experience in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) in the BCIT Horticultural Program. He has completed several Guelph horticulture programs over the years, but his favorite learning experience was the Practical Horticulture Program at BCIT.

Ken also supports and teaches the Master Gardeners Program here in the Okanagan Valley and teaches irrigation-related programs for the City of Kelowna, BC.
