Talks

I usually give talks in person to garden clubs and groups. Currently I am giving talks online.

I charge £95 for a talk of around 40 minutes with a Q&A session afterwards. I can offer my own Zoom platform or can use yours. Webinars are available at an extra cost.

Included is a free practice session for organisers.

Please contact me for talk preferences, dates and numbers attending.

International Women's Day: 100 leading women in UK horticulture

I was delighted to be included in Horticulture Week's listing of 100 top women in UK horticulture onInternational Women’s Day, 8 March 2021.

At the Chartered Insitute of Horticulture’s 2020 AGM held on Zoom in late September I was honoured to receive the annual President’s Award from Gerald Bonner.

The citation reads: "Every year the President of the Chartered Institute of Horticulture chooses an individual who, in their opinion, epitomises the term horticulturist. Someone who has a true passion for the industry and everything it stands for and someone who has actively made a positive impact and given their life to horticulture. The winner of the award receives a commemorative plaque at the CIH Annual General meeting to demonstrate their invaluable contribution to this immensely important industry."
