Martyn Cox - Garden Speaker

Martyn is a confident, engaging and enthusiastic public speaker, who has delivered talks at a wide variety of locations. He has graced the stage at BBC Gardeners’ World Live and RHS Malvern Spring Festival, lectured to students at the English Gardening School and trainee horticultural journalists, spoken to members of Friends of the Earth and to Bloomberg employees at their London headquarters.

He enjoys giving talks to gardening clubs and societies on a number of different topics with fully illustrated PowerPoint presentations. Martyn brings his own projector and laptop, and simply needs a table for his gear and a screen. He is available to speak to groups that meet during the day, along with those that get together in the evening, and tends to cover the South East and London region.  Zoom talks are available for clubs further afield.
