It really made sense of the design process
Doug Hertzog from Mill Creek, WA - 02/10/2012 15:01:19
Billy was definatly worth listening to. He's one of the better speakers I've heard during many visits to the Seattle Flower and Garden Show over the years. His humor was fun but more importantly, I feel I can make an intelligent and attractive design for my own garden now. It really was a How To. A little more of a handout to outline the process would have been nice as I couldn't write fast enough. Thanks.
Educational and Entertaining

Billy is the perfect combination of an entertaining and eductional speaker. I've attendedseveral of his talks and have learned so much each time. I enjoy his sense of humor and his effortless way of imparting tons of information. Whether he's discussing garden design and theory or zombie weeds, I have become a better gardner because of it. Thank you Billy!

I just took a tour of Alice Keck Garden in SB with Billy Goodnick. His talk was very informative adn entertaining; I learned a lot that I can use to improve my garden. I look forward to more walks/talks with him.
Alice Keck Park Tour

Great presentation! Lots of the history of the area, and full of botanical information, comparing heights and textures with colour intensities (that I had never considered before) with wit and humour. Thoroughly enjoyed the morning.

Billy is personable and funny, but he knows his stuff! Never a dull point, he keeps it interesting. From knowing all the plant names and habits - to knowing all sorts of anecdotal stories and background information. And yet, covered everything and finished spot on time. Great fun!
