Talk by Bob Brown, founder of Cotswold Garden Flowers

Bob has a life-long obsession with hardy perennials widened and much honed since he started his nursery "Cotswold Garden Flowers" 32 years ago on an isolated acre of unpropitious alkaline lias clay in Worcestershire. He is known for having opinions (many very critical) about all the 18 thousand or so kinds of plants he's grown or tried to grow. He has been vice chairman of the Herbaceous Committees of the RHS overseeing trials for the Award of Garden Merit (AGM). He writes for various periodicals including a monthly series in Gardening Which and is a regular return speaker. He’s holder of the Veitch Memorial Medal awarded for the science and advancement of horticulture.

This will be the last talk of the year, giving way to a whole new season of horticultural adventures in 2024!
