At Jungle Taming, we believe in developing local relationships, so we developed Great Talks, a free landscape speaking service. We have spoken at meetings of garden clubs, churches, homeowners associations and more. Our topics range from gardening to landscaping to outdoor hardscape construction. We can even tailor a presentation specific to your group’s interests.
