Who in the world is Teresa Watkins?

Teresa Watkins, garden author, landscape designer, horticulturist, and consultant, designed the landscape for the first certified "green home" in Florida in 2001. Watkins hosts the weekly syndicated radio program "Better Lawns and Gardens" on 24 Florida radio stations, iHeart, iTunes, and Amazon.

In the last 20 years, over 37,000 homeowners have attended Teresa’s landscaping talks and programs. Her garden talks range from the ABC’s of landscaping to theme landscapes of fairy gardens to xeriscaping.

Ms. Watkins’s humor grabs her audience’s attention with easily understood landscaping principles. She instills an appreciation for the environment — with her “gardening with soul” philosophy — while encouraging everyone that they can have a beautiful yet sustainable, low-maintenance yard.

It is always a challenge to find a speaker that can share so much good information, especially about how to design a Florida landscape. I would recommend Teresa for any size group, but ours had about 150 attendees. ~ K.S. Port St. Lucie, FL Teresa Watkins never lets you down! Her overall knowledge of horticulture is outstanding. She is not just informative but very entertaining too. ~ S. M. Mount Dora, FL Check out more reviews here.
