Our readers who thought that the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions in July meant an end to lectures via Zoom will see that evidence is very much to the contrary. Our latest Lectures Calendar which in this new edition covers a period from September 2021 to April 2022 contains over 80 lectures from more than 12 different organisations, some familiar, some possibly less so. Topics range far and wide and include Roman Gardens, Commercial Gardening, Plant Nurseries, Norfolk Gardens, 20th Century Iconic Landscapes, Tree talks, Plant Hunters & Pioneers, ‘Conversations Across Continents’, Geoffrey Jellicoe, Humphry Repton, Capability Brown, William Stukeley, Sylvia Crowe and many others.
Full details can be found in the BGHG LECTURES CALENDAR 2021-2022 Edition_1
