Assorted flowers in a garden by annie spratt

SCENT IN THE GARDEN Speaker - Timothy Walker, lecturer, broadcaster and holder of RHS Master of Horticulture award and former Curator of Oxford Botanic Garden gives our Spring Lecture this year.

As well as being a lecturer at Oxford University he regularly gives talks to groups and societies in the UK and overseas and has a reputation for making his talks amusing as well as interesting.

He says ..

“There are many beautiful (and few not so beautiful) plants that bring delightful (and not so delightful) scents to our gardens. This talk, based on a Gold Medal winning display at the Chelsea Flower Show, looks at not only how to make your garden more fragrant but also why the plants produce these smells in the first place.”
