Kathy presented a great overview of cool weather gardening tips. She shared her knowledge and her practical experience in a very approachable way.
Excellent Presenter

I’ve watched a couple of Kathy’s presentations for Homestead Gardens and I have thoroughly enjoyed them. She’s well spoken, giving a lot of information without making it a lecture. She answers questions and keeps the presentation moving.
Container Tips

Kathy gave an hour zoom talk on how to make our urns in Lincoln Park thrive. Kathy gives practical tips in a friendly down to earth way. Highly recommend her talk if you are thinking of container gardening.
