Audience Reviews
“Amazing Speaker, Captivated the Audience. Kim spoke at our Green Steps Expo in Larchmont, NY. The Expo featured expert speakers on a range of environmental subjects, but Kim's presentation may have stolen the show. People (and non-gardeners) who came only to test drive Teslas, stayed to listen to Kim speak on how best to create backyard biodiversity and change the way we think about our lawns. I know everyone who heard her speak came away with a renewed interest in improving (eco-benificially!) their own gardens and green spaces.”
“Inspirational Speaker. Kim is just delightful and thoroughly engaging. She brings her talk to life with profound knowledge, enthusiasm, and visual content! Her topic was Creating a Pollinator Victory Garden. It was a fabulous presentation complete with Eco Beneficial Tips and Recommended Reading handout. Our club members are rhapsodic about Kim Eierman.”
“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!”
