Feedback for Crayfish on the Lawn
Just wanted to say a big thank you for your talk on Wednesday evening. It was informative, entertaining and different. Just what we wanted - particularly for the Christmas meeting. I'm sure all clubs must tell you - you are a really good speaker!
It was a pleasure to meet you yesterday and to enjoy your excellent presentation. As you predicted we all learnt something new. On a personal note it was great to have such an organised speaker – it made life so much easier for us.
...we had a fascinating talk.
I couldn't wait to see what was next!
A very enjoyable hour.
Well done! That was a most enjoyable talk.
Lots of new information and great photos.
So engaging with video and audio too. Thank you so much.
Brilliant! It's quite clear you love your subject. I wish I could go back 40 years and do what you're doing.
Amazing. How do you spot such interesting things?
We loved it! Can you come back in September?
Although I only offer the one talk at present, it's proving very popular. I show videos of subjects that I promise you have never seen before. I play audio from gardening experts and several well known celebrities who love their gardens. I also include photos of interesting plants and other things I have seen while down on my hands and knees rooting about in the borders!
