Happy to talk either in person or on zoom, You can book me in advance or if you need a speaker at short notice contact me and if I can, happy to oblige. My website is www.anneluder.co.uk and there are many more talks listed there. Fees - please note says "From" - I do charge slightly more if travel time is long. I drive but if I can get to you by train and someone can pick me up or drop me off that's great and I will come further but ask for hospitality or add the cost of accommodation.

On the “Speakers Circuit” for over 20 years regularly being invited to return to many groups. Anne has lectured on cruise ships as well as to groups all over the country from Garden Groups to Probus to WI, Talks can be adapted as she goes to suit the group. Happy to give Garden & Plant Advice - spent 20 years on Chelsea Gardens!

A garden designer for more years than she cares to remember, designing both public and private gardens. Anne was environmentally aware back when conservationists were called “cranks”. Quite a few talks are environmentally based.

Anne also spent four years in charge of propagation at a nursery in Essex tutoring & working alongside disabled staff. This led to becoming a part time lecturer at Capel Manor College, Enfield where she specialised in therapeutic horticulture. Today HT is finally being acknowledged for all the things that she and my fellow horticultural therapist’s knew and practised years ago.

In retirement, Anne is the Honorary Horticultural Landscape Consultant &Trustee of a Natural Burial Ground – re-creating a British native woodland and meadow.

Anne has an interest in ancient / biblical plants and has a series of talks based on researching the mythology surrounding these plants, their usages in past times ie food, building etc and how these plants are impacting on our lives today ie cancer treatments. These talks are all amusing and excellent if you want a quirky talk and not religious. Where possible Anne uses either photos she has taken to avoid infringing copyrights! However, a big thanks to the friends who also send me pictures they have taken – many of which are outstanding.
