The Annual General Meeting starts at 7pm, we try to keep it as brief as possible!
Members will receive report papers prior to the meeting.
Following his popular previous talk on the founding of Cliff Bank Nursery, plantsman Ben Preston returns with a new and insightful presentation: People, Plants and Propagation.
In this inspiring talk, Ben will delve into the human side of horticulture—highlighting the relationships, stories, and shared passions that shape the world of plants. Drawing on his experience running a thriving nursery, Ben will explore the art and science of propagation, from tried-and-tested techniques to the joy of raising rare and unusual plants from scratch.
With his trademark energy, humour, and deep horticultural knowledge, Ben will also discuss the role of nurseries in connecting people to plants, preserving diversity, and cultivating a new generation of gardeners.
Whether you’re a keen propagator, a nursery enthusiast, or simply love a good plant story, this talk promises to be lively, informative, and full of practical inspiration.
