Workshop
Over the years, I have been given workshops and presentations for a number of garden groups and organizations. They range from picture filled presentations to hands on workshops. The most commonly requested subjects include:
- Seeds! Seeds! Seeds! - Seed Saving or Seed Germination Tips and Tricks
- Edible Landscape Design
- Edible Perennials - more than herbs and fruit trees
- Pests and Diseases, a systems approach
