Garden Talks, Seminars and Workshops
Creating a New England garden: from practicalities to aesthetics
It gives me great pleasure to share the knowledge I have gained as a practicing designer and a life-long gardener. I do this through talks, seminars and workshops for my fellow-gardeners.
I have developed a selection of hour-long talks and three-hour seminars, as well as hands-on workshops for up to 25 people. These are available for gardening groups throughout Vermont and beyond.
Here at my Goshen home I also teach informal workshops for up to four people. During the course of the workshop, with my individual guidance, students create a design for their own garden.
My website, Judith Irven: Vermont Garden Speaker, describes the content of ten ‘ready-to-go talks as well as all the details about my seminars and workshops.
Here are some of the responses to my earlier talks and workshops:
- Dear Judith and Dick, We all so enjoyed your program on Tuesday. Your combination of gardening knowledge and beautiful photography made us all conscious of what each of us can do to make our personal landscapes ‘right’. I’m certainly inspired. Thank you so much! G&J
- Your presentation to the Master Gardener students was excellent. The students greatly appreciated your presentation style and marveled at your breadth of knowledge. Thanks so very much! NH
- Your ‘Garden for all seasons’ presentation was a huge hit with the Burlington Garden Club members. Often speakers are congratulated for the quality of their slides and equipment, or for their knowledge of their subject, or for the applicability of their information to the interests of the audience, or for their personal charm. Rarely are they praised for all four. You have been awarded a four! PL
- What a joy it was to have you at Floribunda! Once again your presentation was fabulous. The slides are incredible, your expertise incredible and everything else was so inspiring! MB
- Hello Judith: I want to tell you that I so enjoyed your lectures in the Master Gardener course. I was listening over the Vermont Interactive Television from Newport and I felt that your love for your subject made all the difference. Thank you for participating in the course and for all the information you have made available to us. My husband and I moved from Chicago about 4 years ago, have quite a bit of land and know nothing! Also we are not spring chickens. But our land has good bones, so we are not rushing. I am trying to showcase all the lovely rocks for one thing. But thanks again, and I wish you a beautiful gardening summer! MB
