Testimonials

Thank you! You packed a lot into each lecture and your enthusiasm was infectious! If possible, we’d love to have you back next year.  Ann Marie Pilch, Tower Hill Botanical Garden  May, 2011

I wanted to thank you for the wonderful talk you gave here at the ten Broeck Mansion.  You are such an engaging speaker and I think everyone in the group walked away with a lot of useful information that will be used in their gardens.  We are so pleased to have someone of your reputation speak here at the mansion for one of our garden talks and teas.  Wendy Burch, Executive Director, Ten Broeck Mansion, Albany, NY  September 2011

…A brief note of sincere thanks for another wonderful presentation.  As always, the ease and confidence of your presentation is greatly appreciated.  Please know that the Flower Show is richer because of your expertise and how well you share your wonderful knowledge.  Marilyn, Philadelphia Flower Show  March 2011

Thank you so very much for your wonderful and in-depth presentation on Gorgeous Perennials by Season. It was very informative and a great learning experience for both our beginner and advanced gardeners. We thoroughly enjoyed your presentation!  Najjemba, New York State United Teacher’s Union May 2011

I have now heard Kerry Mendez speak at two programs — once at the Tin Mountain Conservation Center and most recently at our October Lunch & Learn at the Red Fox (NH).  Each time she has been captivating, amusing and very informative. We received such positive feedback from our members who attended that I have already asked Kerry to come back next year and she has graciously accepted.  The members are going to be very excited.  Kerry has an extensive repertoire of subjects that she presents and her “resume” is very impressive, as is her website. Her reputation precedes her and you would not go wrong by having her speak at one of the major meetings you host.  You will be as impressed with Kerry as I am.

What a treat for our garden club ladies and guests to have you with us.  You are such a living resource for garden enthusiasts and we were thrilled to know about ‘fabulous foliage’.  Thanks so much for the BEST presentation and your delightful presence.  Lynn, Lake George Garden Club 2011

I hope to be seeing you soon…whether at the Boston Flower Show, at Tower Hill, or in New York at some point. Truly, you have a gift for delivering important, helpful information and at the same time putting a smile on the faces of your listeners.  Chris

I have been watching all your webinars (sponsored by Osmocote ) and love them!They are informative and fun. I have pages & pages of notes! Thanks for this great new form of info.  Tina (Manheim, PA), April 2011

Special Thanks to you for a wonderful and informative presentation here in Schroon Lake today. It was the perfect way to end a successful event. We had so many positive comments from the attendees. They were all amazed at you knowledge and ability to make this so easy to understand. We all found useful tips and suggestions that we can put into action right away. Schroon Lake will surely have some new and beautiful garden additions in the coming years. Again, Thank you for your contribution to our community and our Library fundraiser. This was by far the most successful one yet.  Kathy and Pam and the Friends of Schroon Lake Library, Summer 2011

Kerry, I recently attended your workshop at your gardens on September 26. I want you to know how much you are valued as a master gardener. You are an inspiration to us all. I have learned so much from you in the past 2 – 3 years. You should be very proud of your accomplishments. Yours is a success story. Thanks so much. Scheryl, 2010

My friend and I heard you speak on Friday (at the Rhode Island Flower Show). Your talk was the highlight of the day for us. Truly, you have a gift for delivering important, helpful information and at the same time putting a smile on the faces of your listeners.  All the best to you. Chris, February 2011

Thanks again for another great program at the Guilderland Public Library!  As always, getting rave reviews from patrons.  Maria, Librarian at Guilderland Public Library, May 2011

I heard you at the Boston Flower Show – I am part of a garden club with speakers every month for five years – and have been to many garden shows and heard speakers. You have been my most favorite speaker. Thank you for all you shared.  Kim, March 2011

You are a wonderful teacher! I taught nursing for many years ‘till I got my PhD and got into psychotherapy. You keep things going, offer excellent material, which is very pertinent and have a nice way of relating to your class, answering questions, etc. So thank you very, very much for all your efforts. I can’t remember a…class that has been so chock-full of exactly what I needed to know!  Susan

Thank you for leading off our Fall Gardening Series by lecturing about perennials. The 50+ attendees really enjoyed your class. The evaluations were great! Many of the attendees, who at first signed up for “perennials” almost ran me over in their rush to register for the next classes because they enjoyed your presentation so much. What a testament to your power to excite people about gardening!  Amy, educator for Albany County Cornell Cooperative Extension

I have never in my life learned more in an hour and a half than I did last night at your workshop.  It was fabulous!  I went to the workshop with the idea that gardening was a chore…I left the workshop so enthused…I can’t wait to get my hands dirty!  Deborah

The program was absolutely fantastic! You are a true natural….passion for the subject combined with wit & wisdom never fails, does it??? Our ladies were blown away….copious notes were being taken all over the room….e-mail platitudes have been filling my in-box…a uniquely successful program evidenced by the congo line anxiously waiting to purchase copies of your book after your talk…I only hope you got home in time to pick up your son!! Apparently, tardiness is the price one needs to pay for being a garden club rock star!!!  Your wonderful presentation brought our holiday festivities to a new level…Charlene & I could not possibly be more pleased!! I’ll keep my eye out for your future success, the aura is all around you!  Donna, Garden Club of Wellsley, MA
