The plant hunters from 17th to 21st Centuries
The Plant Hunters From the 17th century onwards intrepid explorers risked life and limb to bring back from distant lands those trees and plants that are now an established part of our English gardens. This talk will recount their exploits, focussing on the Golden Age of Plant Hunting in the 18th and 19th centuries and including some of the latest conservation-based work for the 21st century
