Speaking

I craft presentations to take audiences places that surprise and delight them. I love to spark new ideas and inspire people with different ways of thinking.

My slideshows transport audiences to gardens around the world, or around the corner. Together, we peek over fences and stroll through estates. We walk trails through nature’s beauty and see that beauty interpreted in botanical garden collections.

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.
