Great talks!

Frank was great to work with from the preliminary planning stages. He was very accommodating of our needs for the program. Frank traveled from Durham, NC to Blacksburg, VA to give three very diverse talks at Virginia Tech for the Hahn Garden. On Friday evening he presented "An Introduction to Mushroom Foraging," which proved to be a very popular topic with close to 70 people in attendance. It was a very practical, informative, and engaging talk. Saturday morning, he presented "Not Tonight Deer," in which he shared many ways to deter deer from your garden. He gave lots of great advice! Saturday afternoon, he presented "Hentopia," which made me want to have chickens! Lots of great ideas to have chickens with less time commitment. Very engaging!
Now I want chickens!

Enlightening, engaging, highly recommended!

Just wanted to say thank you again to Frank Hyman for last Saturday's "A Year’s Worth of Wild Edible Plants in One Day" class. I learned a great deal from Frank's insightful presentation, sparking the proper gumption for an exciting new hobby. For that, I can't thank him enough. His energy was contagiously warming; making the new experience all the more enjoyable. and enriching.
Frank is Fantastic with Fungi!

I am an ISA Certified Arborist and owner of Leaf & Limb, a tree care company in Raleigh. Frank recently came to our facility to give us a lecture on foraging for edible mushrooms for our staff professional development day. It was a most excellent experience! He is a fun, engaging experience who really knows his stuff. Many of my staff told me afterwards how much they enjoyed the lecture and excited they were to begin foraging for edible mushrooms. I highly recommend attending one of Frank's classes or hiring him to speak at your company. It's well-worth every penny!
Wild Foraging Hooray!

Frank’s wild edibles class and the wild mushroom class was fantastic! He is an excellent speaker, made is very understandable to a beginner like me and held the attention of the more seasoned foragers in the room. I highly recommend him!
