"I wanted to let you know how much I truly enjoyed your two lectures at Landscape Ontario.
You were absolutely fantastic - engaging, informative, practical and with such a delightful sense of humour and slides/examples that really highlighted your points.
I also have to say that it was a delight to listen to someone with so much passion about our industry and someone who speaks to this truly fantastic aspect of the business."

“For the past six years the New Hampshire Master
Gardeners Association has held an all day symposium for master gardeners
and the public: twelve speakers and about 300 in attendance. CL
Fornari has been our top rated speaker. As a result, she has been
our keynote speaker the past two years.”
Leonard Bushnell, New Hampshire 2007
“C.L. is not only knowledgeable, but very down to earth. Her presentations are a joy! She presents
facts along with a dose of humor that makes them appealing to gardeners of all ages. Your group
is in store for a wonderful seminar when she presents in her own inimitable fashion.”
Stephanie Cohen,
Lecturer, Garden Writer, author "The Perennial Gardener's Design Primer"
“I guess you know that your talk yesterday for the Nauset Garden Club meeting was a HUGE success! We all loved it because: 1) Your delivery is flawless, 2) you are so knowledgeable, and 3) you have a great sense of humor! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with us and for giving us so much useful information.”
Dinny Goodwin, Orleans, MA
“I like to think of C.L. as my female alter-ego, except that she is smarter, funnier, and way better looking. I have been a professional gardener on Cape Cod for 20 years, and I still learn something new every time I open one of C.L.’s books. Her advice is always spot-on because she truly ‘walks the walk’ when it comes to gardening.”
Will Clarke, Perennial Solutions – Falmouth, MA
"Our members are STILL talking about your appearance here in Springfield. We all enjoyed your talk so much!"
Pearl Edwards, Springfield MA
"C.L. Fornari presented her program, "Your Garden Shouldn't Make You Crazy" at one of our monthly meetings. Her presentation skills, quick wit and knowledge of the world of horticulture mesmerized us all. She far exceeded the rest of the speakers we had that year. For any organization that wants a well-satisfied audience, Lexington Field and Garden Club would highly recommend C.L. Fornari."
C. Nijenberg, Lexington Garden Club, Lexington, MA
"Across the board, Master Gardeners loved our keynote speaker, C.L. Fornari.
Comments included: “Keynote speaker was awesome!” “Fornari excellent”.
“Fornari Great!”. I was especially impressed by C.L.’s interest in learning about our local soil, weeds and pest conditions in advance of her visit to Oklahoma .
We would highly recommend C.L. for speaking engagements. Her insight as a master gardener and her likeable nature made for a great fit at our conference."
