Kate is a true gem!

I attended a "lunch and learn" at my workplace where Kate spoke about organic gardening. She has a wealth of knowledge, and imparts it in a way that is easy to understand. Her recommendations are practical and do-able, and she motivated us all to try gardening, even on a very small scale.
Fanastic!

Heard Kate at the PA Garden show of York March 1& 2 on English Garden History and American Veggies. Really enjoyed both talks even through they were very different. Highly recommend Kate as a speaker. She is a delight.

After rereading the notes I took at a talk on Knot Gardens that Kate presented to a garden club in Atlanta, I was pleased to remember all the details she gave the audience. Her talk was filled with historical references and photographs of many of the knot gardens she has personally maintained over the years. It was a fine presentation well worth attending.
