Video Wednesday: Turning Black Thumbs Green

I gave this talk last spring as part of the PechaKucha presentations in Silver Spring, MD. The theme of that talk collection was "change." I demonstrate making change happen by attacking the concept of "black thumbs" and providing simple tips on how to make the world a greener place.

If you are not familiar with PechaKucha talks, they are a simple presentation format where you show 20 images, each for 20 seconds. The images advance automatically and you talk along to the images. PechaKucha Nights are informal and fun gatherings where creative people get together and share their ideas, works, thoughts, etc.

I am going to do an encore of this talk at the upcoming Behnke Garden Party on June 4.

Video Wednesday: Turning Black Thumbs Green

Here is the PowerPoint and audio track from my recent PechaKucha Silver Spring presentation.
If you are not familiar with how PechaKucha works, it is a fast-moving talk that lasts about 7 minutes. Speakers have 20 slides and they are shown for 20 seconds each. They advance without your control, so lots of pre-planning and rehearsal is a must. These talks are a quick way to share loads of information in a very tight timeframe. 

Feel free to share this with all your nongardening friends!
