Lectures & Talks
I offer a range of fully illustrated horticultural lectures and talks to societies, clubs and interested groups. These are given via a digital presentation and are supported by exhibits pertinent to the talk. All my equipment is PAT tested and I carry my own extension lead. My requirements are for a screen and generally, two tables. To book, click on the button below.
