Testimonials

• "On behalf of Belton Gardening Club I would like to thank you for coming and giving a talk last Tuesday. Everyone has said how much they enjoyed your presentation and how much they got from it. Your tips are a talking point and I think the local shops will have a run on epsom salts and soluble asprin."

  Belton Gardening Club

• "Dear Darren, Thank you for giving us such an interesting, entertaining and fun talk last night. You certainly have the knack for audience participation and we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. So many tips on how to save and reuse things we would normally throw out, I am sure no knew one could make a wine from Japanese knotweed! Plus you cleverly gave us the science behind your ideas. I have already had requests from members for you to visit us again so I will be in touch with you in the future for you to visit our Gardening Club again. I do hope you had a good journey home, Thanks again for for such an enjoyable evening, Best Wishes and Happy Christmas, Diana"
