Events
I'm on the road most of the year talking to audiences at bookstores, garden clubs, botanical gardens, and university and museum lecture series. Visit the Speaking Engagements page to find out what's involved with setting up an event in your hometown.
And if we can't get together in person? There's another option! Go here to find out about arranging a 'virtual' meeting using webcam or telephone.
Please do check with the venue to confirm date, time, and location before heading out to join me at an event.
