Talk
How to be a 21st Century Gardener by Timothy Walker
"Anyone who tries to make a distinction between education and entertainment doesn't know the first thing about either" (Marshall McLuhan)
We are delighted to welcome back Timothy Walker who has given us many entertaining & stimulating talks in past years. This talk is being organised jointly with the Cotswold Cottage Gardening Group.
A former Director of the University of Oxford Botanic Garden & Harcourt Arboretum and a member of the Linnaean Society, Timothy will be talking to us about the challenges of gardening in the 21st Century. This talk looks at the many ways that gardeners can reduce their impact on the World’s natural resources and at the same time help those plants whose habitat is evolving faster that they can. It is about much more than global warming and using peat.
As usual, there will be a raffle (please remember to bring a prize if you can) and the meeting will be followed by tea/coffee and scrumptious cake. Please also bring along plants of seasonal interest to show to the group.
Please turn up in good time so we can start the talk at 2.15pm prompt.
