Audience Reviews
“I have heard Kim speak twice - and each time she was incredibly knowledgeable and, frankly, inspirational! Her presentation for [the group] provided a very comprehensive overview of the native trees, shrubs, and perennials to plant to attract birds - I immediately started taking her advice and now have many birds that frequent my garden!”
“Good motivator! Kim inspired us with her exceptional knowledge on how to bring more pollinators into your own "eco-system" by using more natives and less pesticides.”
“Inspiring speaker (with good visuals). The Little Gardens of Tarrytown sponsored a talk on pollinators by Kim at our local public library and she mesmerized our audience. She is passionate, knowledgeable and funny! Her slide show makes a great complement to her speech. Recommend her highly.”
