Yoga for the Gardener
Passion and enthusiasm describe Susie in a nutshell! Her appeal was immediate while organizing a Zoom presentation from SoCal to Vancouver Island! Susie’s sincerity captured everyone’s interest, describing benefits of Yoga moves, demonstrating on video and live and leading us through the moves...actually pushing back our chair and getting up to stretch!! Great motivator and generous with her time and technically efficient: good sound, lighting, transfers from video to live and she does have a pleasing voice.
Thank you Susie, your first Zoom Yoga for the Gardener was a success and enjoyed by Campbell River Garden Club members and Linda Moore, Program Director.

Co-President
Susie Vanderlip communicates her-interest. knowledge and enthusiasm for Monarch Butterflies with exciting visuals in a way that convinces everyone to join her in saving Monarchs from extinction. She is flexible, available and easy to work with. Anyone would enjoy her presentations and be captivated by the intricacies of the Monarch's life cycle presented in an interesting and understandable way. An Excellent presenter!
Zoom at it’s best
I have seen Susie both live and now via Zoom and she was phenomenal in both. She is informative as well as entertaining and her photos are fabulous. I highly recommend Susie as a speaker.
Zoom Speaker: Monarch Butterflies
Great Zoom lecture, with Power Point presentation, lots of photos and how-to's on protecting and gardening for Monarch Butterflies. Wonderful !!
Passionate Speaker
Susie spoke on Zoom to our Compulsive Gardeners Group. She is an energetic speaker and passionate about Monarch butterflies, whose numbers are greatly diminishing. She speaks about how to encourage them to your garden with native milkweed plants for the larva and nectar plants for the butterflies. Her photos and videos show in detail the incredible life story of a Monarch from egg to butterfly. What amazing and beautiful creatures! She also has books and videos children will enjoy. Highly recommended.
Compulsive’s Class Yoga
Susie was fabulous! All the seniors in the class thoroughly enjoy AND participated in Yoga program. We hope to have her back again for Yoga and to speak to us on the Monarch Butterflies very soon. Thank you Susie!
Learn about Monarch Butterflies
Susie does a great job giving an easy to understand presentation on Monarch Butterflies. She has lots of energy and makes it a fun learning experience. Her passion for Monarchs really shines through during her talk. We were very happy to have her talk in Dana Point.
Energy and Knowledge–Awesome Combination
Susie is a high energy speaker with inner knowledge of monarch butterflies when you thought you had heard it all. Her colorful video, Chester, takes one to the hidden life of the monarch.
Susie is a delight in demonstrating yoga for the gardener--simple actions that help before and after gardening.
The Herb Society of Indiana thoroughly enjoyed her presentations and would invite her again.

Monarch Butterflies
Susie is a fantastic speaker and was so interactive and engaging with Silver Spur Garden Club members.
We learned a lot in a most fun and enjoyable way. A great time was had by all. We will certainly be asking her back for "Yoga for the Gardener".

Wonderful program and Susie so energetic and delightful in her presentation and in person.. We would rate her a 5 star and would love to have her back for the Naples Islands Garden Club.
Engaging
Susie was our speaker at the annual meeting of Fullerton Beautiful. She captivated us with her story, her enthusiasm and her experience - in nurturing Monarch butterflies for over 25 years. She answered many questions and we all left inspired that we, too, can help these creatures in their journey.
Excellent Speaker
Our "Garden Thyme Club" has greatly enjoyed 2 programs by Susie. Monarach Butterflies & also Yoga for Gardeners. She is a very engaging & energetic speaker & we all had a good time with her as speaker!
Butterfly Gardening
The garden club audience was mesmerized by Susie's presentation on Butterfly Gardening, with a focus on Monarch butterflies. The presentation slides were beautiful, even including video from her 'Story of Chester' DVD. I would highly recommend Susie Vanderlip as a speaker.
Fabulous Knowledgeable Speaker
Our garden club thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful speaker. She is very knowledgeable about monarchs. We loved her lively presentation and were inspired to plant milkweed to help the butterflies.
Susie for Garden Clubs
Susie Vanderlip was the speaker at our June Palmia Garden Club Meeting, and she did a terrific job. She is organised, vivacious, energetic, and very well informed. I highly recommend her to speak to garden clubs. Now I'm watching the milkweed plants in my garden as they are devoured by the caterpillars that will become gorgeous monarch butterflies! Our club members loved her presentation!!!
Monarch Butterfly Program
Susie Vanderlip presented a program on Monarch Butterflies to Sea and Sage Audubon at the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary on May 19. I found her to be a very informative and dynamic speaker with a wonderful ability to engage the audience. She dealt with a few technical hiccups in a professional manner and stayed on point during her talk. She did a great job and we were happy to have her.
Monarch Butterflies
Many members came up to me after Susie's presentation on Monarch Butterflies to say how much they enjoyed her. Lou
Excellent, fantastic, personal,
The Monarch Butterfly presentation is excellent and Susie brings to life and shows first hand with images their amazing life cycle & habits. Good for all ages!!!
Wonderful Speaker
Susie was entertaining, energetic, organized, and provided valuable information on the life cycle of the Monarch as well as how to attract Monarchs to one's garden. She also addressed the controversy of tropical vs. native milkweed for Monarchs. Her presentation was further enhanced by great written, audio, and visual materials.
Dynamic Speaker
Susie Vanderlip is a dynamic presenter. Our audience of over 50 garden club members totally enjoyed Susie’s program. She mesmerized us with incredible live action visuals of monarch butterflies during their various stages of development. Susie explained to us how she was able to attain these amazing shots. She motivated our members to want to plant the monarch butterflies’ host plant, milkweed, in our yards and gardens; and she taught us how to nurture those milkweed plants once established. Susie narrates a well-prepared media show to her audience. She has created a DVD and a charming fictional book, The Story of Chester, about monarch butterflies, both of which are totally appropriate for young elementary school students. The Riviera Garden Club in Southern California highly recommends Susie Vanderlip as a speaker for garden clubs, elementary schools and other organizations interested in nature.
DAR -State Project Speaker
We hired Susie to speak about the Monarch; our state project is directed at fund raising to 'Save the Monarch'.
We were not disappointed! Susie gave such an inspiring and enthusiastic talk, full of great
technical information balanced with the whimsy of Chester the Caterpillar. She is a total professional in every way- our event was a great success-thank you Susie!

The City of Dana Point – Monarch Butterfly
Susie Vanderlip presented to the City of Dana Point at our monthly Science Night at the Dana Point Community Center on Wednesday, April 13th from 6PM-8:30PM. 50 people attended our event that night to learn about the beauty of the Monarch Butterfly.
Her presentation on the Monarch Butterfly captivated the audience and inspired everyone to raise awareness on the importance of this amazing creature. Her enthusiastic nature projected through her entire presentation and we couldn't be happier with the success of the night. She is great for all ages! Chester is a fascinating story and really gives people an insight into the process these insects go through in their lives. She even brought handouts, milkweed seeds, and an actual Monarch Butterfly chrysalis to show her viewers.
We received many great reviews from her lecture on Science Night and look forward to working with her in the future!

Susie shared her wonderful work with monarch butterflies with our K-2 STEM Certificate program teachers. Her passion and enthusiasm were absolutely contagious and the participating teachers were thoroughly engaged in her presentation. Many stayed after to take pictures with her and she was kind enough to autograph books for our teachers. I hope that we can have her share with a new cohort of teachers next year!
