SRS/RSCG Joint Autumn Conference, Sat 5th October 2024
Botanical exploration isn’t consigned to the history books and is in fact more relevant than ever. With more and more plants coming under threat, an understanding of how they grow and interact within their natural habitats plays an important role in knowing how to best conserve them.
Find out more about today’s botanical travellers at our Autumn Conference joint with the Rhododendron Species Conservation Group (RSCG). Maybe you, like our speakers, will feel inspired to follow in the footsteps of some of our greatest plant explorers such as George Forrest and Frank Kingdon-Ward.
