Bianca’s professional skills in designing, promoting and delivering horticultural programs are outstanding. Whenever I request her services, she listens to my needs and tailors the sessions, considering many factors such as the audience, budget, supplies, type of venue, weather, etc. Every time, Bianca exceeded my expectations.

The glory of gardening: hands in the dirt, head in the sun, heart with nature. To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul.
