'Can I say a huge thank you for an extremley entertaining evening last Wednesday.  You have an amazing gift for bringing to life the subject of gardening.  I don't know where the time went but the whole audience could have listened to your reminiscenses and knowledgable anecdotes for much longer than time allowed.  Your enthusiasm and enjoyment in your chosen career is very evident and totally infectious!

'A wonderfully entertaining talk, it was such fun - your final chapter on the stunning RHS garden, inspired by the Jekyll and Mawson designed formal and water garden, which you recreated at Chelsea was absolutely amazing and you had us all riveted to our seats.  You really gave us all the most memorable celebration evening I know how much our members enjoyed meeting and talking to you.'
