Amber Murray has extensive experience in land management and design. She has worked with turf grass, aesthetic gardens, functional landscapes, greenhouses, small food crops, urban farming, permaculture, and plant retail.

Her background includes leadership of large teams, development and execution of equipment and procedure training programs, and management of time-constrained landscape projects.

During the quiet hours of many winters, Amber attended five post-secondary institutions in Alberta for her undergraduate degree, continuing education in English and literature, short courses in agriculture, and education. She has an unusual blend of lifelong outdoor work experience with a penchant for research, writing, and public speaking.

Amber is focused on incorporating food plants into urban aesthetic design, using hardy cultivars to augment shade canopy, developing in-ground and elevated water harvesting, experimenting with composting and mulch for moisture retention and soil health, and constantly upgrading local companion planting for fertility and germination. She has offered her experience to Lethbridge’s Green Haven Garden Center for the past two growing seasons and enjoys working with established and emerging local landscaping enthusiasts. In return, Green Haven has awakened her extensive new interest in the importance of planting trees and maintaining a healthy canopy in the urban landscape. She also writes for Environment Lethbridge, speaks at the Coulee Commentators Club, and spends as much time as she can walking the paths of kaawahkÓÍstsi (Lethbridge coulees).

Amber and her family moved to Lethbridge in 2023 after seven years designing and building a large, subsistence-based, urban farm in Cardston County with water storage, laying hens, honeybees, fruit trees, herbs, hay, and several thousand square feet of annual and perennial garden beds. She has seen and felt the increasing prevalence of drought in the southwest corner of Alberta and has experienced two summers where irrigation water was limited early and significantly. She understands and reflects the water concerns of agricultural producers in the area.

Amber believes that the most important industry in southern Alberta is agriculture. She has joined the Green Party of Canada as a candidate to make federal water protection a priority for the citizens of Lethbridge.
