If you would like me to give an illustrated talk to your gardening club, group, society or organisation, please get in touch. I am also happy to join in with panel discussions, debates and events discussing subjects where gardening and wider environmental concerns often collide – such as why we need to end the use of peat in gardening.
Browsing my archive of published articles will give you a good idea of the kind of subject areas I’m interested in and which I’m either writing, or have previously written, about. Please get in touch should you have any special requests.
I usually charge a fee plus travel and, where necessary, accommodation expenses. These will vary depending on your location and the logistics of getting there (and back). My home and garden are in Conwy county, North Wales.
To maintain a lean ‘writer’s footprint’ and to try and ‘walk my gardening talk’, whenever possible I try to travel using public transport in preference to using a car (please bear this in mind if you want me to talk to a gathering of gardeners on a remote peninsula). Alternatively, it may be possible to give a ‘low footprint’ talk or join your discussion using Skype.
During 2016 I will be speaking about (and signing copies of) my new book Weeds: An Organic, Earth-friendly Guide to Their Identification, Use and Control.
