Climate change is now demonstrably underway; biodiversity is measurably diminishing; a multiplicity of efforts will be required to stabilise and, ultimately, reverse these changes. Four world-class researchers explore how different approaches to urban planting can result in green and pleasant places in our cities and how a great diversity of ornamental plantings can increase biodiversity.
Tickets provide access to the livestream of all four talks and to a recording of the sessions, available for a week afterwards.
Professor James Hitchmough: “Responding to Climate Change in the next 30 years.”
Fergus Garrett: “Biodiversity at Great Dixter.”
Professor Cassian Schmidt: “Plantings inspired by Nature - Attractive, Stress-tolerant, Sustainable. How to transfer natural plant communities to gardens and public green spaces.”
Dr Henrik Sjöman: “Trees of tomorrow – which are they and how should we find them?”
This is an ALL-TICKET event, with discounts for Friends, students and a small number of ‘early bird’ reduced-price places. To find out more and to book your tickets visit the symposium page on Eventbrite.
All proceeds from this event will support the restoration of the prairie designed by James Hitchmough in the Gardens.
