Educational Presentations

Ed Blondin's garden history-themed multimedia presentations are as entertaining as they are educational.

Using humor and vivid graphics to illustrate his topics, Ed brings history to life in hour-long seminars he conducts for gardening, historical, seniors' and women's groups.

"Your enthusiasm for your subject matter came through as our group learned about the history of gardens in the Medieval period. Not just a talk on plants, you weaved history through your presentation to put it all into context. Our members were entertained and educated."
-Barbara Hayes, President, Grosse Pointe Herb Society

"What was truly wonderful was the engaging, entertaining and enthusiastic way you illustrated your subject. Honestly, I think you could make a fascinating presentation out of watching grass grow."
-Mark Reynolds, President, Indian Village Men's Garden Club
