Nan has an amazing way of speaking that gets you excited about gardening in a sustainable way. She is interesting and easy to understand. This particular talk is one that should have been given long ago and is VERY informative for everyone living in So Cal.
Workshop Evaluation

To Garden and Landscape Show/Conference/Workshop Program Chairs,
If looking for a show/conference/workshop opening session caliber speaker, consider Nan Sterman! She recently was the opening speaker for a Water Smart GardeningWorkshop for the Otay Water District and received rave reviews from workshop participants.
With the growing need to educate Otay residents with tangible water conserving, sustainable landscape practices, she was the first choice as the workshop’s gardening and landscape expert when I was coordinating the event. In reviewing her recent presentation, she is a professional speaker of the highest caliber combining good science with a presentation style that draws the workshop participant into the realm of the subject material. Nan covered a long list of agency requested themes, both mundane and substantive, with a powerpoint presentation that reflected her high level of preparation, excitement and passion concerning all aspects of water conservation, gardening and being part of the “green” movement.
A previous career in university teaching and professional affiliation as a founding and life member of the National Association for Interpretation has provided the opportunity to appraise many speakers. When requested to cover specific themes relevant to district goals, Nan crafted her presentation to meet and exceed every agency objective. Without any reservation, I would heartily endorse Nan Sterman as a world class speaker for any garden meeting, landscape show, educational workshop or professional conference. Should additional information be helpful, please contact me.
Great talk on Marketing to California Gardeners

Nan gave an informative talk at the Winter 2012 Direct Gardening Association meeting in San Diego. She was engaging and well-prepared. CA represents a huge market for garden products but with so many micro climates, serving customers there can be a challenge. Nan made the issue much clearer for our membership.
