Saddlebrooke Master Gardeners - Dr. Soule, you were fabulous! A huge, heartfelt thank you from the SaddleBrooke MasterGardeners. You packed the house and your talk was so well received. Loved your energy, your humor and so much great information. We would totally love to book you again for another presentation. Thank you for driving to "Timbuktu". It was our sincere pleasure to host you. - Margaret


Pima County Library System
- I was off yesterday—but I heard that your program at Main was a marvelous hit! Really grateful to you for all of the great programs you offer!  Best, Justine

- Everyone loved the program! Thank you for coming to Mission Library.
Thanks, Paulina

- Thank you for presenting your program Herbal Lotions at Murphy-Wilmot Library. You did a fantastic job and everyone who came was very excited to learn how to make herbal lotion. I felt it was very successful. I originally planned for teens but clearly there is a niche for our older female customers who loved your program and asked for more J.
All the best, - Ingrid


Western National Parks Association - “Engaging” and “informative” were words that were used to describe Jacqueline Soule’s recent presentation at Western National Parks Association. The content of the slides was well organized, consistent, and contained a sufficient amount of information. She presented the material with confidence and was easily able to answer questions posed by the audience.

Jacqueline Soule is a long-time Southwest gardener and award-winning garden writer.  Of her thirteen books, nine are on gardening in the unique Southwestern climate.  She has been a popular columnist for many years with weekly and monthly columns in a number of national, regional and local publications, including Angie's List Magazine, and Southwest Trees & Turf.  Jacqueline has a Ph.D., but she doesn't flaunt her education, a trait that makes her a popular speaker with green industry professionals and garden clubs alike.

Dr. Soule has a B.S. in Horticulture and a B.S. in Ecology, Evolutionary Biology from the University of Arizona both with Honors and Cum Laude, a M.S. in Botany from Michigan State University, and a Ph.D. in Botany from the University of Texas.  

Jacqueline grew up in Tucson and has traveled extensively around the globe studying the vegetation.  She currently summers in Vermont and winters in Arizona - and both of her gardens are the entire landscape around her home, filled with plants that need as little care as possible, many of them natives.  Minimal care is not her only plant selection criteria however.  Plants must also provide color, texture, and movement in the landscape.  Food for the table is also a high priority.  Many of the plants in her latest book were test grown in her own yards.
