Ken brings a wealth of horticultural expertise and experience packaged in a professional service dedicated to customer satisfaction. I have known Ken professionally for 16 years during which time he has developed a strong interest and commitment to pest prevention and management practices applied in an integrated and holistic approach to landscape design and maintenance. Ken has a great skill for communicating his knowledge and sharing ideas as anyone who listens to the AM 1150 Garden Show every Saturday morning can attest. Cheers, Hugh Hugh G.

Ken has willingly given a number of public presentations to Master Gardeners and related gardening groups. The turn out is always good when Ken’s name is on the speakers’ list!Arriving equipped with excellent audio visual aids, a long career’s worth of experience in the field, and a sharp sense of humour, Ken is both an informative and entertaining speaker. Warning! question time is always highly interactive and most worthwhile, so allot plenty of time for Ken to share his wealth of knowledge.

I have known Ken Salvail for over twenty years and for most of those years I have worked closely with him in the field of horticulture both ashis employer and as a co-worker. Currently he is my partner on my longrunning weekly radio show so we see each other on a regular basis andtrade notes. He is a wealth of horticultural knowledge and has both aformal education in the field as well as many years of practicalexperience. As a public speaker he is excellent; both interesting and informative.

I first met Ken many years ago at the spring home show at Prospera Place Moving here from Manitoba, I had a blank canvas garden different weather, different plants and a real challenge Ken knowledge, ideas and inspiration developed my blank canvas into a garden that I was excited to get out out in the early morning and then to relax in the evening He has given me ideas I could not in my wildest imagination create Ken was willing to source out plants and the best place to put them. Ken has all the answers when it comes to gardening whether you're planting your plants in the ground in pots or house plants. He is definitely the garden whisperer.

We asked Ken to come by and review the various plantings in our yard as some plants weren’t doing very well. Ken has an encyclopedic knowledge of the plants that grow in the Okanagan, as well as the soil conditions and pests that can effect their growth. He offered many practical steps we could take to help our plants thrive, as well as some warning about tree locations and the survival of some non-native plants. We wish we had Ken review our landscape plans before the landscaping company started as this relatively inexpensive step would have saved us a lot of time, money, and stress.
