I am writing to thank you for a most entertaining talk you gave us. Your slides are supurb and the hints and advice you gave us are the spur to galvanise us into action and into the garden. The quiz was such fun and everyone was keen join in and win at least one packet of seeds to take home.

Thank you very much indeed for visiting us last evening. Everybody was delighted with your talk and I only wish it could have been recorded so that I could now look up the shrubs you mentioned and see which I could plant in this garden.

On behalf of Grove Horticultural Society "Thank You" very much for your talk last evening.It was a talk with a difference. Thank you also for your list of lectures

Another successful evening for BGHS and verbal bouquets received were most gratifying. I'd better not book you for every occasion, tempting though it is!
I made a few notes during the evening, determined to place some of these treasures in my garden.

Dear John,

Thank you once again for the inspiring presentation you gave to our group yesterday. I have had many comments since all saying how much they enjoyed it. I loved the variety in your talk (we were kept on our toes!) and your enthusiasm shone through.

Thank you once again for an excellent evening on Monday.You are a brilliant speaker who holds his audience with your enthusiasm and knowledge.well done.

Thank you so much for our most entertaining and informative talk yet! It was exactly as I remembered when I first heard one of your talks at Otford for U3A. You bring the audience to life and they participate – not just slumping into a somnambulistic pose! I can honestly say your talk caused the greatest animation I can remember at one of our meetings. Thank you so much – when can you come again?

Thank you so much for coming to talk to the Horticultural Society here in Liphook
about how to deal with unwelcome bugs and beasties that inhabit our
gardens - and thank you too, for showing your amazing pictures - what
a lot of work had gone into their preparation.
Everyone I spoke to afterwards found it most interesting and enjoyable,
and really appreciated the rewarding quiz afterwards.
(The coreopsis seeds I won last year led to a pretty display
last summer - so thank you for them.
