TESTIMONIALS:

"Suzanne Wainwright is one of the best speakers we’ve ever used at PLNA. She makes her topics come alive with her excitement and beautiful photography. I’ve used her repeatedly and her classes are always filled with attendees. When she’s speaking on a topic for pesticide credits, she manages to take a sometimes dry, repetitive topic and make it fascinating. She also travels and attends conferences all over the country (and world) to keep up with the latest research, so her programs are always relevant with the latest information."  - Margaret O’Neal, PCH Director of Education and Certification Pennsylvania Landscape & Nursery Association


"After twenty or so years in the Green Industry, I often use lectures and seminars as a time to update my day planner. But Suzanne Wainwright-Evans had me captivated...about insects! Her style and exquisite photographs not only kept my attention, but taught me a tremendous amount about the importance of insects. Her lecture was far from the encyclopedic slideshow one might expect, but was truly entertaining and filled with valuable, timely information. I came away with a renewed attitude toward them. Can't wait to learn more from her!"  - Erik Friedli Horticulturist and General Manager Flamingo Road Nursery Davie, Florida
