Jan 13th 2023 GRAHAM SPENCER "NEW PLANTS - THE FUTURE FOR YOUR GARDEN" 

THIS MEETING WILL BE ON ZOOM  - details of how to join us will follow in due course

"All gardeners get excited by the prospect of a new plant. This talk provides an opportunity to get excited by recent introductions and by plants that have not yet been launched.

In this talk, Graham gives an insight into the new plant development process, including a brief introduction to Plant Variety Rights and the commercial aspects of new variety development, as well as a discussion of the qualities required to make a new plant a success. This is followed by an illustrated discussion of some of the new plants that have recently been introduced or are about to be launched through Plants For Europe – which inevitably gets the note-takers in the audience scribbling in their pads!"
