Barbara Burkhardt, Board Member 

Originally from New York City where I worked for American Airlines and later for Con Edison Electric and Gas.  Upon marriage to John we moved to New Jersey where I worked for Johnson & Johnson.  Upon the birth of our first child I became a full time Mom until our children were on their own. 

I became a "master gardener" through the Dayton Metro Parks program and have done landscape design for private customers.    I then worked in sales at Grandma's Gardens in Waynesville, Ohio.

I have been active as a volunteer in my church and with Dayton Christian School System and have also been the lead planner for programs presented by Miami Valley Citizens Informed, an independent non-partisan community awareness group in the South Dayton area.  John and I  live in the Waynesville area where we enjoy landscaping and gardening and nature in general.  We are blessed to have our two children and their families living close by.
