Speaking List
| TOPIC | TITLE | DETAIL | OPTIONS |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gardening Plants | “Weird and Wonderful Plants” | The plants in this presentation are not all native or edible.

| Gardening/Native Plants | “Getting Started with Native Plants” *an introduction | There is lots of pressure out there to plants native plants in our outdoor spaces – but where to start?! This talk is a gentle introduction to native plants for various site conditions in the residential landscape. When it comes to introducing native plants to your garden – I believe it is about “progress” NOT “perfection”. | Gardening |

| Gardening/ Landscaping/ Landscape Design/ Special Interest | “The Journey Through a Garden” | Based on the concept outlined by Julie Moir Messervy in her book “The Inward Garden”, this talk explores elements of a garden that help to create a successful “Mind” (a journey through a garden just looking at it) and a “Body” (physically traversing through a garden) Journey. | Gardening |
