            Thanks so much for organizing a great informative Mid-Atlantic conference. The speakers were all excellent and very enlightening, I came away with lots of new knowledge. I also enjoyed meeting and networking with lots of like minded professionals.

            Laura and I were just talking about how much we get from all of the ELA events and webinars鈥�. The good "vibes" abound at ELA events.

            John K, Land Design Inc.

            Thank you for a full day鈥檚 worth of insightful material! Thank you for organizing this great event every year.

            Karen C.

            Speakers were very good, but meeting landscapers at the talks & in the lobby was best.

            Cathy B.

            Thank you Penny for making this delightful series available to members of the GCFM. [A Walk in the Garden webinars] have been one of my favorite hours each week this springtime. The speakers have been top notch subject experts who have excellent teaching skills to boot. Their photo presentations have been beautiful and informative. All around an excellent series!

            Linda N

            Thank you for a lovely and informative conference at BBG this past December. [It was]聽very well run and a joy to attend.

            I salute you on the excellent conference today at BBG! It's cheering and edifying for my staff and me to be among so many people, old friends and new, who value horticulture and ecology.

            Thank you for offering...courses via webinar - it really helps to save the professional development budget & travel time from my job. I find these information sessions very interesting, inspiring and informative.

            Thanks for providing the great professional society that I have been long searching for.... I am definitely a better, more informed practitioner for it.

            I am really enjoying all the webinars that the Ecological Landscape Alliance is offering. Thank you so much for organizing them and making them available for FREE! I spread the news about them on my Constant Contact page for the NJ Native Plant Society.聽

            Susan H.

            Just want to say again how very much I appreciate the 鈥淲alk in the Garden鈥� series. The quality of your programs is tops! A 鈥淲alk in the Garden鈥� is so much more than a series of slideshows. It is a celebration of how all life is connected. It is great to have this positive reminder amidst the scarier reminders!

            K.R. Watkins

            Being an ELA member has allowed me ready access to resources that inspire and inform our new coastal landscapes initiative. I'm very thankful they exist!

            Gloria P, North Carolina Sea Grant, North Carolina State University

            I love the new website. It鈥檚 clean and clear and the articles you highlight have great, inspiring content.

            Meg H Plant Me a Rainbow

            THANKS FOR THIS WEBINAR EVENT -- and to the author for the links to the Rodale Institute. To-the-point, compact (but not compacted!), memorable and motivating!

            Joeth B.

            I thoroughly enjoy being a member of ELA. In fact, I get the most out of my membership from your organization than from any other professional organization I belong to. Your educational opportunities are fantastic, I have enjoyed every webinar I've ever attended, and your newsletter is always informative and helps me do my work. Thank you!

            Nancy H. Little Eden Gardens

            [R&R] was such an informative and interesting conference. Thanks to you all at ELA for hosting such an undertaking. I'm looking forward to using more of ELA as a resource going forward.

            I want to thank you and ELA for having such a wonderful speaker [Heather Holm] talk about our native bees and plant partners. It was fantastic. Great photos.聽

            Virginia K.

            I met and made new friends with great topics to discuss.

            Timothy M.

            The whole day on soils was particularly educational. I really liked the on-topic, varied discussions.

            Erica B.

            Fantastic! So many delicious offerings so well organized, so much energy, so many smiles! And just think of the abundance of skills, knowledge, deepened friendships, new connections, and inspired energy now out there, put to service, and passed on to still others! An astounding event! Hooray for everyone on the Conference Committee!

            Cindy G, Landscape Designer

            You do a wonderful job with your newsletters. Everything might as well be a MUST Do with the way you present the programs.聽 We appreciate your dedication to doing a good job, and are most impressed with ELA.
