Hi all,

I was asked to send an update with the responses that I received regarding flower/gardening presenter recommendations.

Recommended local resources to contact:

· Master Gardeners and the local MSU Extensions office (***most of my responses were suggestions to contact them)

· Local flower shops, landscapers, and gardening centers

o I contacted English Gardens in West Bloomfield and they charge $75 for out-of-store speaking engagements.

· Local beautification or conservation committees

· Local garden clubs (some have lists of previous or upcoming speakers on their websites that you can poach)

Recommended presenters:

· Design Works Flowers in Rochester (recommended by a local garden club I contacted)

· Iris Lee Underwood from Leonard, MI, presents on lavender; contact: irisleeu@scvglobal.net

Thank you to everyone for your responses!

Have a great Thanksgiving!

Shayna
