Upcoming Engagements
Bringing garden expertise to life on any stage — energizing, practical, and impossible to forget.
A Speaker Who Makes Gardens Come Alive
More than a lecturer — a storyteller. With over two decades of hands-on landscape design and garden coaching experience, every presentation takes audiences from passive listeners to inspired gardeners ready to dig in the moment they get home.
Whether presenting to a garden club of 20 or an annual meeting of 300, the energy, content, and style adapt to meet the audience exactly where they are. Every presentation is warm, practical, and packed with real garden wisdom.
