 I'll work with you to select a topic that resonates with your library patrons, garden club, botanical garden,  flower show, community, school, assisted living home or other group. 

Specialties include History & Horticulture, growing tomatoes, plants for the winter garden, xeriscaping and more. Interested in something else? Let's talk! 

Where to begin? If you're starting from scratch, I'll help you make sense of it all, from selecting plants that will thrive in your garden's conditions to placing them appropriately -- and everything in between.If you're already established and want to learn how to prune, propagate, divide, harvest, or manage pests and diseases, I've got you covered.I practice  integrated pest management and will coach you on xeriscaping, native plants, vegetable gardening, deer-resistant, pollinator-friendly and other gardening methods.And there's no long-term commitment: Grab me for an hour a week, a single session or a half-day garden evaluation -- or once per month, season or year. Or get a group together for a one-time course on a topic of interest.  

 I'm available for TV, radio and podcast segments and media interviews on a variety of  gardening topics, including:

• Growing tomatoes
• Frugal gardening
• New products and plants
• Spring/fall lawn and garden care
• Plants with winter interest
• Xeriscaping
• Customized topics

Need ideas? Having spent more than 25 years as a journalist, I can help come up with a topic that will resonate with your audience.
