Judith Irven: Vermont Garden Speaker
Talks, Tours and Workshops
I offer a collection of hour-long talks on the art of designing beautiful and satisfying gardens in harmony with New England’s climate and landscape. Each talk is illustrated throughout with exquisite photographs of real gardens. I also tours of my own garden as well as longer, hands-on workshops.
I have extensive experience as a garden speaker and educator. For over a decade I have been a seminar speaker at Vermont’s biennial Flower Show and a guest lecturer for the Vermont Master Gardener class (through UVM Extension). I have also given talks for numerous garden clubs and other organizations around Vermont and beyond.
My current talks are listed below, but do please contact me if you are interested in a special topic not shown here. Given some lead time, I can modify one of these or even develop a new talk for your organization.
With advance notice, I offer guided group tours of my Goshen garden.
And, for gardeners who want to learn how to design their own gardens, I provide longer hands-on group workshops described below.
Please contact me for the fees associated with each of these.
