Linn County Master Gardener Lecture Series Speaker by Carson Fixmer, 20 April 2015 Kelly's presentation on Horticultural Theater hit a home run with our audience of novice and experienced gardeners alike. He is knowledgeable, engaging and entertaining. We would love to have him back for another creative gardening lecture.

Tough Plants for Tough Places by Mary Ann Beck, 22 June 2013 I am not very well versed in the science and art of horticulture, but Kelly's presentation kept me spellbound. His enthusiasm and passion for his craft is evident, and he is a very entertaining and lively speaker. I got many ideas on types on plants that would survive even my inept attempts at gardening, and I'm now inspired to venture forth and give some things a try. Thanks Kelly!

Terrific keynote! by Leslie McManus, 20 March 2013 Kelly Norris got our one-day conference off to a super start. His enthusiastic, upbeat and lively presentation put smiles on faces and created strong audience engagement. My only regret is that we didn't book him for a breakout session as well! Knowledgeable, articulate and engaging: a true crowd pleaser!

Tough Plants in Tough Places by Annette Thompson, 5 January 2013 Always enjoy listening to Kelly speak. He is a dynamic speaker with tons of knowledge. Kelly had already accomplished a lot for his age and I believe he will continue to be a leader in horticulture.

FarWest Show 2012 by Crystal Cady, 23 November 2012 Many thanks for delivering such an informative session on ‘Chic Plants for Hip
Gardeners’ to our members at the 2012 Farwest Show Professional Development
Seminars. Your session was very well attended and attendees thoroughly enjoyed
the ideas and plants you presented. Attendees had rave reviews about you and your
presentation and we had many requests to bring you back next year. Your
knowledge and experience shined through and attendees truly enjoyed the
presentation and left wanting more. Your depth and breadth of subjects you can
speak to is incredible. The information you delivered was very relevant to our
industry and the fresh new take you put on gardening inspires even those stuck in
the days eras past.
You were an absolute pleasure to work with and we look forward to collaborating
with you in the future! Thanks again for being a great addition to this year’s
lineup!

Wonderful Speaker by John, 17 April 2012 Kelly recently spoke to the Rocky Mountain Chapter of the North American Rock Garden Society in Denver. I thought he was one of the most exciting, inspiring and knowledgeable speakers we've had in a long time, and I thoroughly enjoyed the evening. I can't wait to hear him speak again!

LIfe on the Edge – Tough Plants for Tough Places by Dick Vaeth, 20 March 2012 I recently heard Kelly speak in Kansas City about zone-worthy plants for gardens. I found him to be a dynamic speaker who kept the audience engaged throughout his presentation. He later presented a lunchtime talk on the bearded iris that skilfully described his childhood interest in iris, the origin of his family's iris farm, and the writing of his soon to be published book on the bearded iris.

Excellent information, and engaging by Scott Hokunson, 16 March 2012 I recently heard Kelly speak at the UCONN Perennial Plant Conference, and he was fantastic! His thoughts and information on marketing to Gen Y individuals, should be required knowledge for all independent garden center owners and employees. He also spoke on Iris', of which his knowledge and passion are both engaging and insightful. Definitely a rising star in the world of horticulture!
