A Well-Landscaped Life Lessons on living from your own backyard
Whether your thumbs are green or black, when it comes to evaluating our lives we don’t need to look any further than our own yards and gardens. Our landscapes provide an excellent model for focusing on what is valuable and how we can better cultivate a meaningful, pleasurable life.

A humorous and upbeat talk suitable for general audiences, spiritual retreats, alumni groups, and conventions. Whether the members of your organization are nurturing a business, working toward personal goals or growing a garden, this talk will entertain, inform and inspire.
Roots, Flowers & Wings - Still Growing After 55
You’ve seen a lot of life in your time. After nurturing careers, participating in volunteer activities, raising a family, helping elderly parents, contributing to your community and dealing with assorted physical problems, you can truthfully say, “Been there, done that.” But are you still growing?
Whether you’re retired or still working, moving full steam ahead or slowing down, your roots are, for better or worse, firmly in place…now it’s time to think about flowers and wings. This talk is for women age 55 and older, and explores how we can cultivate growth for the rest of our lives.
Inch by Inch
“Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow…” The Garden Song by David Mallett celebrates the effort that goes into a garden, and the satisfaction that comes from it, while acknowledging that the work proceeds in small increments. So it is for parents and educators: many of the challenges we face in the garden are similar to those we encounter when teaching or raising children. This inspiring and entertaining talk brings a fresh look to the efforts that go into cultivating kids.
Growing Stress Reduction
In The Wizard of Oz, Dorothy learns that if she ever is tempted to go looking for her heart’s desire again, she shouldn’t look any further than her own backyard. In this presentation C.L. explains why you might agree. Are you looking for a way to get exercise, relaxation and contemplation while improving your surroundings and beautifying the planet? Get into the garden! This talk will encourages people to take advantage of the benefits that wait in your own backyard. C.L.’s light-hearted and enthusiastic presentation will show you how your landscape can be your own personal life coach and stress reduction program.
Success in the Yard and Garden
Everything You Want to Know About Your Landscape but Haven’t Had Time to Ask
The vast majority of people don’t call themselves “gardeners” but they want an attractive landscape, and a restful backyard, nonetheless. In many instances, all they need to do is “think like a plant”. What you need to know, what you can cross of your list, and how to spend less time in the landscape and enjoy it more, or how to talk to your landscaper so that you have the environment you want. An informative, humorous and upbeat talk presented the The Garden Lady.
