The Mid-Atlantic Horticulture Short Course
"My job as a program director of a horticulture conference is to provide speakers and information pertinent to the attendees need in their industry. Much discussion and research is done before we hire someone as a speaker or instructor. Afterwards, there are evaluations from the students themselves showing us how effective the speaker and the information given was relevant to their needs.
Tim Thoelecke has exceeded our expectations and the students as well. His design knowledge, nationally and internationally, and experience was superior in all aspects. Much demand from the attendees to have him return to our conference for two years in a row. His step-by-step explanation, his photographs of on site designs, and his delivery to his audience was highly rated by all who attended. His two-day workshop was greatly needed in this industry for all the detail required to produce a high quality design. Tim’s hands on instruction, expert experience, and lessons on the materials needed made the workshop a repeatable event year after year.
Tim is easy to work with, reliable, great speaker, and we highly recommend him to anyone who seeks experts in the landscape design and architects industry."

"Particular kudos to you for a great presentation. I have NO IDEA how you manage to do so much so well. You clearly are one of those people who use every hour of the day wisely.
Each person came away with new ideas and new ways of looking at old patterns. It was terrific! Thanks for an idea-packed morning."

"Thank you so much for your informative, lively, and generous presentation today for LDA. We truly appreciated your efforts to combine your two lectures so as to cram as much information as possible into our allotted two hours. The fact that there were so many questions, comments, and interested members discussing the topic afterward attest to your skill as a teacher and to your intuition about the information we were seeking.
I think you managed to convey techniques and ideas that were helpful to every participant. Each of us was able to identify gaps in our business management and take ideas from your presentation to improve our efficiency."
