Talks are available at Distinctive Gardens or we can visit your location.
Many of our talks include a Prezi presentation as accompaniment. We have our own computer and projector for those talks.
Demonstrations are an option.
Often examples are the main feature of talks.
Most talks can be tailored to run between 20 minutes to 1 hour.
