Here are some of Kim's reviews:
"Amazing Speaker, Captivated the Audience"
"Kim spoke at our Green Steps Expo that featured expert speakers on a range of environmental subjects, but Kim's presentation may have stolen the show. People (and non-gardeners) who came only to test drive Teslas, stayed to listen to Kim speak on how best to create backyard biodiversity and change the way we think about our lawns. I know everyone who heard her speak came away with a renewed interest in improving (eco-beneficially!) their own gardens and green spaces."
"It is amazing how much information Kim presented in one hour! She has such an incredible depth of knowledge, and gives clear, science-based guidance."
"Kim was one of our featured speakers at the annual GreenScapes Symposium. This event attracts more than 900 participants and we received a lot of positive feedback on Kim's presentation. She is a wonderful speaker who brings a wealth of real-world experience to her presentations. I would highly recommend her."
"Kim delivered three outstanding webinars for our Earth Month festivities and they were fantastic. Not only is Kim an expert in her field, but she is a lively, enthusiastic speaker who keeps everyone's attention. Her presentations are very well organized and easy to follow and she is able to maintain high energy throughput the presentation - not so easy on Zoom! She is also highly professional and easy to work with - a real pleasure. I can't recommend her highly enough!"
"I have heard Kim speak twice – and each time she was incredibly knowledgeable and, frankly, inspirational! Her presentation for [the group] provided a very comprehensive overview of the native trees, shrubs, and perennials to plant to attract birds – I immediately started taking her advice and now have many birds that frequent my garden!"
"Kim Eierman is a trove of knowledge about the importance of rediscovering native plants. She is a dynamic speaker who combines information about the "big picture" of gardening with native plants with practical ideas for your own garden."

Beyond Sustainability: Using Our Landscapes as a Source of Environmental Change
Our environment has never been more fragile, but our traditional landscapes are escalating the problem. A landscape is more than a combination of trees, shrubs and perennials - it's complex system where all living things are connected. Landscaping with an ecosystem approach contributes to species diversity, attracting and supporting the crashing populations of birds, butterflies, pollinators, and beneficial insects.

The Pollinator Imperative: Winning the War on Pollinator Decline
Countless pollinator species have suffered dramatic declines in recent years. It's a serious problem for all of us since pollinators are responsible for the reproduction of 80% of all flowering plants, and at least 30% of the food that we eat. Unfortunately, most of our landscapes offer little in the way of appropriate habitat and forage for these essential animals. With simple strategies, you can attract and support not just bees, but an array of pollinators that have different...
