TALKS
"Many thanks for a very informative and amusing talk. I for one went home and checked that my retaining wall had been built properly (relief-yes it has), my wisteria was not too close to the wall (it is) and I had no dreadful design bloomers (of course not!). It is so important that we can find good speakers like yourself to support us as we try to raise funds for this very needy cause. I hope you enjoyed your lunch with us and didn't mind us all taking the opportunity to solve our various gardening problems!" - Ailsa Williams, Beaconsfield Friends of Cancer Research
"Thank you for the interesting (and humorous) talk you gave to my Gardening Club last Thursday" - Jill Ovenden, Sunningwell Gardening Club.
"Many Thanks for an interesting evening last Wednesday which was much enjoyed " - Ken Spriggs, Hitchin Garden Club
