Very Informative
Kathy presented a great overview of cool weather gardening tips. She shared her knowledge and her practical experience in a very approachable way.
Excellent Presenter
I’ve watched a couple of Kathy’s presentations for Homestead Gardens and I have thoroughly enjoyed them. She’s well spoken, giving a lot of information without making it a lecture. She answers questions and keeps the presentation moving.
Container Tips
Kathy gave an hour zoom talk on how to make our urns in Lincoln Park thrive. Kathy gives practical tips in a friendly down to earth way. Highly recommend her talk if you are thinking of container gardening.

Knowledgeable, friendly, well-organised
Kathy spoke to Reading Gardeners in England in March 2021. Her depth of knowledge was impressive, she stuck to her topic, gave us loads of ideas, was relaxed, positive, and kept to time. 10 out of 10, we'll invite her again.
So informative!
I've seen Kathy speak a few times. She is always so informative and interesting.

Fantastic presentation
Kathy is a terrific lecturer. Today I attended Great Groundcovers and it lived up to its name. She is extremely knowledgeable and imparts her wisdom in a clear and concise manner. All the information is very practical and applicable. I’ve attended some of her other lectures and all are stellar.
Educational and Accessible
I attended Kathy’s virtual seminar in holiday plants, which was very informative to both experienced and beginning gardeners. Her presentation style is very personable and engaging.
Interesting and educational
I have recently attended Kathy's online lectures on Small Tree (and Large Shrubs) for Urban and Small Gardens and one on Fall and Winter gardening. Not only are her lectures informative, but they are interesting as she include facts and information that you may not even connect with gardening (like how trees can deter crime!) She is also well-informed and is able to tailor her talk to information specific to our growing zone. I look forward to more of her lectures in the future.
Fun and Informative
Kathy provided a very fun and informative presentation for our Garden Club on Ground Covers. She is clearly knowledgable and yet she explains things so that even the novices among us followed. There is no doubt that we will want to invite her to return again in the future.
great speaker
Ms Jentz gave a lively informative talk on Fall Colors in the garden. She is very knowledgeable and personable. I really liked her power point slides. She was able to do a great job on a hybrid platform despite the outdoor noises. I would highly recommend her for any garden club program.

Cool Season Edibles
Drawing from personal experience and gardening know- how, Kathy provided a great intro to growing veggies and herbs in the Fall and Winter. She provided tips for handling the challenges of the mid-Atlantic weather. Her Fall Planting Chart is an excellent take home resource. The presentation was jam-packed with fun and great information. A class or presentation with Kathy is always a treat!
Very informative
I thought Kathy was very informative. I've tried to grow veggies in containers without the kind of success I'd like. But I am going to take her tips and use them this year and keep my fingers crossed.
A fun, information-filled talk
Kathy recently gave a well-attended talk to our garden club on how to grow edibles through the 'cool' seasons. There must have been some very dedicated edibles gardeners in the audience because the talk was quite lively, with many questions thrown out at Kathy. Impressively, there was not one question to which she was not familiar, even if the topic was only tangentially connected to the current slide. Kathy was both able to handle the multiple questions and still go over all her intended slides, and finish on time--quite a remarkable performance!
Getting Your Garden Ready for Spring
Excellent presentation with take home SKA's to do now. For example use "grey water" for shrubs planted last year due to our winter drought. Kathy's handout will guide me to grow vegetables, flowers for three seasons. Her lecture was beyond and above my expectation.
Highly recommend
Saw Kathy Jentz last night give her presentation on Cool Season Edible Gardening and learned so many great tips! Her talk was insightful and entertaining. There's no better way to learn than hearing it from an experienced gardener like Kathy!
SSGC speaker

Container Gardening
Kathy spoke to our garden club on container gardening. Her presentation was very informative and she covered all the major aspects of gardening in pots, from choosing the right container, to soil choices, fertilizers, watering and the many exciting kinds of plants one can grow in pots. Many questions were asked and Kathy answered them all with a full knowledge of the subject. Kathy was a delightful speaker and one I would highly recommend.
Regionally Adapted Plants
Oct. 24 Kathy spoke about ;Local Gardening: Regionally adapted Plants to an audience at Green Spring Gardens in Alexandria. She spoke about definite plants that will work in our gardens throughout the 4 seasons. Her premise that a good plant has 3 seasons of interest and that those are the plants adapted to our area made us all hang on every word she spoke. She answered many questions and looked at NO notes during the entire hour. Several of us were Master Gardeners and often we do not know what is best in this area and we work with a population that is on the move in and out of the DC area. This helped me personally for my garden and as well as ideas when speaking with newcomers to the area.30226
Hand-tied beauty
Kathy Jentz gave a wonderful introduction to making hand-tied bouquets. She also gave plenty of practical advice on cut flowers in general, and how to handle them and keep them fresh.

great info, very clear presentation

Knows her stuff!
I attended her lecture at Brookside Gardens for local gardeners who still had some "holes" in their gardening knowledge. Her presentation was understandable, thorough,interesting and practical.

Extremely useful talk! I learned a lot, some of which I'm already using as I set up a new vegetable raised bed this spring.

Outstanding talk - I have been gardening for years but learned a tremendous amount about our local conditions and plant selections. As a result, I am subscribing to the magazine.
Superb Speaker
Kathy spoke to our garden club on the subject of GMOs. Wow!! It was a beautiful presentation with excellent AVs and much knowledge of the subject.
Bravo
Kathy Jentz' talk with slide show has caused me to look at small garden areas in a totally new way. Just the next day, while driving along Tunlaw Road in D.C.,(a road I've driven for 30 years and never particularly noticed much except the houses) I pulled over to admire the small front.
gardens of some row houses. Wow, boxwood bordered by lettuce; tomatoes growing along with flowering plants tiered for maximum variety. Never more will I overlook small space gardening as "too small to be worth it," Thanks, Kathy for your presentation to the garden club.

Jentz is a fountain of gardening information!
I attended a talk last night that Kathy Jentz gave about putting your garden to bed for the winter and it was excellent. The 1 hour long presentation was jam-packed with great, practical, easy-to-understand information. Great for novices and seasoned gardeners alike. I consider myself a seasoned gardener and I learned a thing ot two from Jentz's talk. I highly recommend you attend this speaker's talks, if you can.
Great Presentation
Kathy manages to make a complex subject, E-book publishing, easy to understand. Her presentation offers something for everyone - no matter what their technical level.
