Need a speaker for your group?
Book Kendra for an educational (and even entertaining) presentation. You’re almost guaranteed to learn something : )
/
Over the past 8 years of digging in the dirt and building up our market garden, we’ve learned a thing or two- sometimes unexpectedly.
The more we learn, the more we realize how little we know. In the off season, Kendra enjoys sharing some of these stories, lessons, and the process we go through each season so that maybe you’ll have the opportunity to learn something new from our exploits, or at the very least, you’ll be entertained.
Our Presentations:
There are hard copy hand outs available for both presentations. Hand-outs are $2.50 per person to cover colour printing and our speaking fee is just $150. Both presentations include a power point.
