Jennifer worked at the UBC Botanical Garden for two seasons and spent a year as a gardener trainee at Windsor Great Park in the UK. She was lead at the GVRD's compost demonstration garden for six years.

She also designed and taught the Introduction to Horticulture course offered to inmates in both medium and minimum security facilities by UFV.
