Speaker Evening Thursday 20th February 2025

Guy Deakins

“No sex please, we’re gardeners!” -  Getting our pollinators in the mood for love.

Pollination is an essential part of plant reproduction and therefore our ecological survival, and we as the nation’s gardeners, can play a vital role.  In this lighthearted spin on an existential topic, Guy talks through the ecology of gardens, and how creating the right environment for our top pollinators, need not be at the expense of a beautiful garden.
