“Fantastic Online Presentation. I wanted to write a review of the workshop we just had with Toni Gattone. The presentation was fabulous because Toni has such a comfortable and knowledgeable way about her. When the pandemic arrived and we had to pivot from an in-person presentation to a zoom conference, Toni met with me on 3 occasions to iron out zoom questions. This made the presentation go smoothly and everyone loved it. The email chatter after the presentation was all laudatory. Toni has so much information, I would definitely hire her as a speaker for your groups.”

“I was raised on a farm, and spring/summer was consumed with gardening. I haven't had much, if any, desire to ever garden again. However, after listening to your presentation, I am tempted. Great info, tempo, and slides. I took notes!

Thanks so much.”

“When I planned for a presentation from Toni, I didn’t know she would charm, entertain, and ease our transition to redesigning our gardens, our tasks, and our outlook on aging. With humor and kindness, Toni invited us to rethink why we garden and to focus on the essence rather than the form. At a time when we dread diminishing abilities and resources, she reminded us of our optimism, our willingness to learn from each other and to help each other.

Thank You, Toni!”

“On behalf of the chapter, thank you for your excellent advice on aging in place, i.e. in the garden.
Your keynote address was very well received. Thank You.”

“Remarkable and Inspiring.” The Garden Guild in Oakland, CA had the pleasure of having Toni speak twice in 2020. In February, she treated us to her Adaptive Gardening seminar in person. In July, via Zoom she spoke about container gardening with edibles. Toni shares her wealth of knowledge as well as tips and tools that make gardening easier. Toni is a remarkable and inspiring speaker. Her knowledge and enthusiasm make you want to go out and garden!

“Your presentation on ‘You Can Garden for Life with Adaptive Gardening’ was so relevant to our Berkeley Garden Club. Many of us are retired and still have a passion for gardening. You not only addressed issues of diminishing balance, strength and flexibility; you gave us solutions! The examples of adapting and installing new garden structures and walking surfaces and replacing our garden tools with ones that help us garden more efficiently and effectively were very helpful. We came away feeling empowered and ready to garden for life.”
