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 – The ‘Language of the Flowers’, flower essences and modern interpretations.
- Building a Nursery from Scratch – the good, the bad and the plants!
- Creating a space to remember someone special – from a bunch of flowers to a memorial garden
- Plants of the Bible – where they appear and how they help our faith.
- Greener Gardening – Plastic, Peat and being Sustainable (not available via zoom as we look at examples)
- Three Generations of Farming in Kesgrave, Suffolk – Fruit, Arable and Horticulture 1930s to present
