Razvan Chisu, The Transylvanian Gardener – ‘Confessions of a Plantaholic’

Razvan’s addiction to plants began as a child in his native Transylvania, where he was inspired by fields covered in wildflowers. His passion remains plant-hunting, particularly in Greece and Spain. His wonderful photographs of these trips show vast areas of wildflowers – swathes of silene, crocus, species tulips, etc. – growing naturally and undisturbed. 

As well as helping to stage exhibits at the Tatton, Chatsworth and Chelsea Flower Shows, Razvan works as a garden designer.  He has an eclectic taste in plants and can’t get enough of them, as this talk will reveal.  Succulents are a particular passion, and he loves all plants that bloom in the spring, including snowdrops and cyclamen.

At every meeting we have the Plant of the Month competition. For 2023 we encourage everyone bring along an offering to expand the competition. Your mission is to bring either a cut flower and / or a pot plant, or both. The competition is usually judged by the Speaker and points awarded towards an annual award at the AGM. 

Let’s give Roy and Caroline some competition this year – find your best plants and bring them along on Saturday.
