May Day

Happy May Day!

May 1st has always been such an exciting day for me. I think of gardens, May poles, warm days to come and my Dad's birthday.

This photo is one of the tulip beds at the entrance to Millennium Park in Chicago.

The weather here is perfect so I'll be out in the garden all day...what a great way to celebrate May day.

Lecture time

Looking for a great garden lecturer?

For the past fifteen years I've been lecturing throughout the United States and Canada on various garden topics. Programs highlighting perennials, garden design, foliage plants, fun "junque" in the garden and more.

My fee is quite reasonable, $150 for a local lecture (on Long Island), $200 plus travel expenses for lectures off the island. If your club is within a 3 or 4 hour drive I'd be more than happy to come and speak.

Not only do garden clubs bring in garden lecturers, elementary schools, senior citizen centers, libraries, civic associations and other groups are ever mindful of bring "green" topics to their members.

Considering a fund raiser such as bulb sales for your PTA? Why not kick off the event with a lecture so the parents understand which plants will do best in their gardens? Happy customers equal return customers.

To contact me, just drop me an e-mail at melaniev380@gmail.com and I'll get back to you ASAP!
