Informative, Engaging, and Entertaining
Deborah’s “Jaw Dropping, Traffic Stopping Container Gardens” presentation was informative, engaging, and entertaining. She involves her audience and answers questions as she speaks. Her photos illustrate numerous ideas for containers with eye catching plant material that she identifies as well as color combinations that work well together. You will see how she incorporates unusual, unique and sometimes antique containers. She also provides tips on transitioning a container from one season into another. Deborah commands a wealth of information that every gardener will want to implement.
This was no cookie cutter garden plan
I was so lucky to find Deborah. The landscaping in front of my house had been neglected for a few years and was completely out of control. Every time I tried to come up with a plan to tame it, I was overwhelmed. Deborah came out to the house and walked around with me and spent time getting to know what my tastes were, and what I was looking for (I didn’t really know – she helped figure it out). She asked questions about colors and combinations and my favorite season. She really tried to get a sense of my taste before she created a design for me. This was no cookie cutter plan. Deborah managed the various crews that did the work, so that I didn’t have to be there for all the consultations, and I am beyond thrilled with the results. Every time I come over the hill and see the front of my house I think it’s better than I could have imagined. Deborah created a beautiful year-round custom design that is specific to me and my home. She is a true artist and her enthusiasm and excitement make it a delight to work with her. I am beyond happy with the results!
“Jaw Dropping, Traffic Stopping Container Gardens”
Deborah Trickett was an audience delight at the 2017 Country Living Fairs in Rhinebeck, NY and Columbus, Ohio! She shared her expertise, tips, tricks, lessons learned with audience on creating “Jaw Dropping, Traffic Stopping Container Gardens”. Her presentation style is engaging from the start and she managed audience questions throughout with ease. Her container creations in these presentations were on point with the interests and gardening style of Country Living reader interests. I would encourage all garden enthusiasts to take advantage of meeting Deborah and attending any of her lectures in your area!
“Every time I pull up to my house, I smile.”
I could not be happier with my new front garden. Working with Deborah is such a tremendous pleasure; she really cared about creating something that would both fit the house and bring my family joy every day. I sometimes see people walking by the house and stopping to admire our new plantings and design. But, the most important thing is not that others stop to look, but that every time I pull up to my house, I smile. Deborah is such a joy to work with and I am so grateful that she has had a hand in our home.
Deborah captured our group
Deborah’s ability to capture not only a garden but an audience is impressive. Our club loved the two demonstrations she did for us. A great sense of humor combined with a great sense of design and, of course, botanical knowledge results in a very happy group.
An entertaining and informative presentor
Thank you Deborah for once again delivering an entertaining and informative presentation to the Duxbury Garden Club! Fast paced indeed – I ran out of writing space on my paper! There was a run on Polident at Rite Aid today…!
Still hearing wonderful compliments about you. I’m sure you will receive the same on the rest of your summer tour. Next time perennials?
Such a lovely surprise!
Deborah is very talented. We have a large terrace off of our 5th floor condo, and she filled the perimeter with gorgeous perennials and annuals along with 2 crab apple trees, a butterfly bush and other potted plants. It’s gorgeous, and she maintains it for us so that it doesn’t get too wild. She was careful to respond to our request for flowering plants that attract birds, and she even surprised us (planting everything while we were on vacation) with a stone birdbath. She also referred us to an irrigation expert, so that our plants are now watered automatically by a WiFi program on our iPhones. We are delighted with Deborah’s work.
Five Star Speaker
I’ve been to a few garden presentations but none as informative and inspiring as yours. Maybe it’s your knowledge, or passion or delivery or sense of humor but whatever, it’s a five star. I saw you back in April in Berlin and didn’t have a chance to tell you then but I understand now why you’re in demand.
Boston Flower & Garden Show
Deborah’s lectures and demonstrations at the Boston Flower & Garden Show are always among our most popular programs. Her enthusiasm for the topic of container gardening and ability to convey her broad knowledge in succinct and entertaining programs make her a great asset to our show.
I can’t thank you enough!
I can’t thank you enough for the beautiful job you did for my son’s First Communion. The urns with hydrangea and pussy willow were so colorful and the wreath for the front door was breathtaking. Your work made a special day even more so.
