“Difficult Decisions: gardening choices in a changing climate.”

Join us for a talk by Dr John Grimshaw, former Director of the Yorkshire Arboretum and now Editor-in-Chief of Curtis’s Botanical Magazine and IDS Trees and Shrubs Online. Dr Grimshaw will explore the challenges of gardening in a changing climate and how this affects the whole range of horticultural practice, whether we like it or not.

Using the traditional method of moss and wire, we will have an array of interesting foliage, seedheads, fresh fruit and decorations, together with a bit of sparkle. Both sessions include tea, coffee and mince pies.
