Dave’s presentation was beyond excellent! He made the science of climate change accessible and easy to understand for the layperson. He was engaging and geared his talk perfectly to our group of home gardeners. They particularly enjoyed the before-and-after photos of his own garden. His examples showcased real-life solutions for a changing climate. We’d highly recommend Dave Epstein's presentations!
