Principles of Garden Design

Do you look at your garden and wonder how you could make it look more pleasing to the eye? Want to know what plants would work best in your outdoor space you have, or how to make it work better for you?  As a qualified Garden Designer, in this talk I’ll take you through the basic principles of garden design to help create beautiful and practical gardens. Those feeling inspired after the talk, have the opportunity to book a design consultation for their own garden.

 

Powerpoint presentation, that can also be done as a Stand Alone.

From PR Professional to Garden Designer – a Story of Passion

This talk looks at my journey from PR professional to garden designer. I talk about my work in Publishing in 80’s London, working for a large Metropolitan Borough Council, an Internationally renowned Art’s College and Communications work for the Ministry of Justice. I discuss my growing passion for garden design and how an Architect acquaintance recommended formal study in garden design, and what happened next.

Can be done as a Powerpoint or a Stand Alone presentation.

Life After Fifty – What to do with my Fabulous Self!

So I’ve had the amazing career, my daughter has flown the nest, and my husband splits his time between teaching Physics, being a yoga teacher, playing golf, being a musician and being on the allotment. What about me? What do I do? Time to reinvent myself! A lot of fifty plus women find themselves in this situation, so this is a motivational, humorous talk to encourage others to find their splendid new self.

A talk, which includes music, poetry and drama. Stand Alone presentation, which can also include some Powerpoint content.

Motviational, After Dinner and Conference Talks
