Speaking

I am an engaging speaker who enables actionable garden insights based on science. Let me tailor a talk for your audience with gorgeous photos and videos.

Consult

I have designed award winning native gardens that are low maintenance, and support butterflies, pollinators and wildlife. I offer consultation on your current gardens, recommended plant list, and design. If you need help with installation, I can oversee the project from start to finish. Price varies on size and scope of project.

Request a free 15 minute consult: info@gardenthoughtfully.com

Partnering

I engage audiences with “walk and talks” in nurseries and gardens to describing how gardeners can invite nature in, and what plants/accessories would be ideal to enable a wildlife paradise. This results in an informed customer who buys.

I often partner with industry to tell their story through video blogging. If you have an innovative product- I’d love to chat about content that engages.

Reviews

"Heather has been a wonderful asset to my home and my nonprofit organization. Her knowledge of native plants and holistic perspectives are in perfect alignment with what we were looking for. She is a local treasure, full of knowledge and resources, plus very kind, patient, and hardworking. There is no hesitation in giving her the highest recommendation. I know that those who work with her will be very happy!"

It was my first year trying to plant a garden, so I had many unanswered questions and didn't know where to start. I consulted with Heather to create a plan for my garden and I'm extremely happy I did. Heather answered every question I had, and she designed a garden plan that was perfect. After implementing her plan and following her advice, my garden has superseded my expectations from the growth of flowers to the number of pollinators that stick around the garden. I will undoubtedly consult with Heather for future garden projects.

Heather recently presented Citizen Scientists and the Butterfly: Meet the Mavericks, Mavens, and Miracles that Revealed Their Secrets for a joint lecture presented by Haverford College Arboretum, Hardy Plant Society, and Henry Botanic Garden. Heather was an engaging, amicable, and knowledgeable speaker throughout the presentation. She handled the challenges of a hybrid lecture exceptionally well. Thanks to her presentation the audience left with a better understanding of pollinators and with an enthusiasm to plant their own pollinator gardens. We have heard nothing but rave reviews from those who attended and we would highly recommend Heather as a speaker in the garden world!

Heather did an excellent job of presenting the material; Many commented that it was the best Arboretum Educational program that they ever attended. We intend to invite Heather back in the future for a repeat performance.

Heather Andrews has such a clear way of presenting her topic. Her passion for gardens and gardening really comes through. It is obvious she loves to share her knowledge/experiences. The program she presented for Penn-Cumberland Garden Club via a virtual Zoom meeting was done professionally and flawlessly.

Heather was a bright spot on a gray day and gave us hope for travels in the future to see beautiful gardens!

I was devastated after a severe accident and serious diagnoses that I was no longer able to work. I was trying to find a silver lining by getting back into gardening. Your website and gardening course came along at just the right time and really lifted my spirits. One never knows how what one is doing may affect someone else's life. With so much negativity going on in the country right now, I thought that I'd pass along something positive and let you know how you've touched my life. Thank you, Heather.

I absolutely loved this course! It was a wheelbarrow-full of exciting ideas and info. The instructor was always kind and receptive to ideas and questions.

I attended a your monarch waystation tour with PCGC. Lovely, impressive and very motivating. I have the seeds you shared of swamp milkweed stratifying in my fridge for planting this fall. Thank you so much for starting me on my way to a pollinator garden.

Heather Andrews is extremely knowledgeable about plants and insects. She addressed our group outlining how to produce more vegetables in our garden, how to cut down on weeds, and why we should plant native plants to name a few. She answered all our questions and provided links to help grow our gardens next year. I would highly recommend her to speak in a group setting or give one-to-one help.
