Dear Keith:

Thank you so much for your inspiring workshop at the Gardens. I was more than impressed with not only your fresh approach and clear concepts for design but even more so by your ability to engage so many people in a true workshop setting. Few speakers are able to accomplish hands-on activities to large groups.

I am hoping you will be able to come back again to speak on another topic. In the meantime, please let me know if you have any plans to come out here if I haven’t gotten back to you first.

Have a great holiday and I look forward to our next event.

Dear Keith:

Thanks for speaking at the March 16 Landscape Design Symposium at the Chicago Botanic Garden. Your images are great and it is very easy to follow your presentation as you guide us through projects by showing before and after photos and explaining how and why you came up with the final design by considering individual client needs, budget constraints, spacing requirements, etc. I could tell you put a lot of thought into your presentation, which resulted in an excellent lecture that delivered exactly what we had discused during the symposium planning stage.

I would be happy to have you back at the Chicago Botanic Garden any time in the future. Please keep in touch.

"Keith Davitt presented 'Small Spaces, Beautiful Gardens as part of an Olbrich Botanic Garden Symposium. Keith is doing some of the most creative and livable garden designs for small spaces this audience has ever seen. Keith's presentation was enthusiastically received by the audience. Some of the comments were:  "Loved the explanation of the design principles for each design. Enjoyed the interactive projects." "He was fantastic! He alone was worth the cost." "The design projects were great learning tools!"
Olbrich Botanic Gardens will look forward to having Keith as a speaker again and highly recommends him to other organizations."
