I enjoy talking to people and sharing my love of plants, gardening and nature.

I give talks on the following topics, in person or via zoom.  Each talk is accompanied by a presentation using plenty of my colourful flower pictures. I like people to feel uplifted and entertained as well as educated!  I am happy to answer any questions after each talk.

  • Flower Power – How Flowers benefit our Wellbeing
  • How to Connect to the Flowers
  • Building a nursery from scratch –  the good, the bad and the plants!
  • Plants of the Bible – where they appear and how they help our faith.
  • Reducing plastic in the garden and feeling closer to the Earth (not available via zoom)
  • Three generations of farming in Kesgrave. 1920s to present. (not available via zoom)

Fee for a talk is £99 – £10 of which is donated directly to Horatio’s Garden Registered charity number 1151475/SC045386.
