"Hi Stefan,

Thank you very much for coming to the Brome Lake Garden Club last Saturday to talk to our members about “How to attract birds to your garden”.

We thoroughly enjoyed your presentation.  That you are a born teacher/communicator became quickly apparent as you launched into your subject matter with enthusiasm, knowledge and humour.  Without any hesitation you shared your passion for gardening, farming and all the wildlife which a diversified property can provide.

The presentation was clear, easy to follow and complemented by your beautiful pictures.  I particularly enjoyed how you made us think about what we can do to attract more birds by suggesting that the birds are basically rating our gardens 1 – 10, the way we humans would rate a home or a property.  You gave many helpful suggestions as to what WE can do to get a 10!

Thank you very much.  I hope we will have a chance to invite you back."
