What do others say about Cindy Gilberg?

"Cindy covered a prodigious amount of ground in this class, and did so very well. The organization of topics was logical, the handouts and visuals worked (well). Cindy's explanations were clear and importantly, she sufficently stressed the rationales behind the techniques to give the homeowner a very sound basis from which to garden successfully and thoughtfully in Missouri.
     I've heard Cindy speak at professional events, thought highly of the Gilbergs' garden center when it was in operation and respect Cindy's volunteer service in the Perennial Plant Association.
     Please have Cindy back to teach more classes at the Missouri Botanical Garden!"
