Julian Sutton: ‘A History of Garden Plants in Twelve Shrubs’

Julian was the proprietor of former nursery Desirable Plants, which specialised in unusual varieties of plants, especially bulbs and shrubs. Here he will be exploring the historical development of garden plants, focusing specifically on twelve representative shrubs.  Using his expertise as a nurseryman and botanist he will provide insights into the evolution of plant cultivation and the stories behind the plants we grow today. He is an excellent speaker, informative and lively.
