I hope to see you at one of my upcoming speaking events! With the release of my new book, Gardens of Texas, I’m excited to share about visionary Texas gardens and their creators, who are cultivating resilience along with beauty, habitat, and a distinct sense of place. Come be inspired while learning practical strategies for making your own garden a little hardier in this beautiful but weather-challenged state.
If you’re an organizer, please reach out via my contact page if you’d like for me to speak at your garden club, gardening symposium, or festival. I customize each talk to the audience and type of event, and pricing is available on request. I’m also available for podcast interviews, webinars, and author events, so drop me a line — I’d love to discuss with you!
