Paul Andres

Paul joined WOPB in 2022, while it was still a seedling chapter, eager to learn and support the mission, having developed a love for gardening early in life from his grandfather.  His appreciation for the benefits of native flora and fauna and the ecosystems they serve continues to grow.  He enjoys sharing his gardening experience and knowledge, including propagation and sharing plants and conducting composting workshops.  Elected to WOPB’s board of directors in 2023, Paul is currently involved in WOPB’s work group addressing Schools and Youth Projects.  He has been an active member of the St. Tammany Parish Master Gardener Association since 2010, where he is deeply involved in its program with the Slidell Boys & Girls Club.  Paul’s skills and experience are proving to be invaluable for WOPB. Thank you, Paul!
