Urban Planting Symposium

We can’t wait for the urban planting symposium we’re hosting tomorrow (4th August)! Four world-class researchers will talk about the plants and designs they use in the face of climate change and the loss of biodiversity. All the proceeds will be used for the restoration of the prairie designed by James Hitchmough at the Gardens.

Nearly 250 people have bought tickets for the online event, with attendees hailing from over 20 countries. Last minute purchases are still possible, with a £10 discount for Friends and students. Head over to Eventbrite to buy your ticket.
