"Definitely a "10" ...Valuable information with a precise and engaging, presentation - tools needed and their care, why prune and exactly how, care of trees with feeding, mulching, eliminating and preventing typical problems. I appreciated your "Zen" perspective on pruning…thoughtfulness in how each branch wants to grow, to shape, strengthen, and balance beautifully and healthfully. Everyone who came was likewise impressed, enjoyed themselves, and received so much value." - Sheri Cooke, Quebradas
"Thank you, Eric, for an informative, thorough, and inspiring class. The language and concepts you used to express the essence of pruning, felt nurturing, grounding, and aligned with nature-based principles. You could call your class, "The Tao of Pruning Basics". With Travis translating, the concepts also resonated in the Ticos who participated, as they were truly engaged. I even heard my farm worker say, "He's a good teacher"! - Dina Delaini, The Pavilion at Solfeggio
