Speaking
When you hand me a microphone, I shift into story telling mode ...
Talks, Demonstrations, & Workshops
Immediate Takeaways for Everyone
When I have potting soil and tools, I show people how to build new gardens, start seeds, plant succulents, or grow food.
In every presentation, I share information about how plants grow and other bits of science that empower participants and help them problem-solve in their own gardens.
Whether the audience is novice or professional, everyone goes home having learned something new and valuable – and wearing a big smile, too.
