January 20th - The Capable Mr. Brown - Russell Bowes

Russell Bowes, a garden historian has been giving talks and lectures since 2000. The Capable Mr. Brown takes a look at the life and career of Lancelot "Capability" Brown - a man who changed the face of England forever. Born into poverty and obscurity, he became renowned across the world as the father of the English landscape garden movement.

March 17th The Lost World - Peter Brandham

Following the footsteps of Arthur Conan Doyle’s explorers, we visit the tropical rain forest of Guyana and experience the hardships and excitement of a 100-mile walk through dense jungle to the flat-topped, vertical-sided Mount Roraima.

We seek orchids, carnivorous plants, ferns, bromeliads and other curious exotic plants for research and display in the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.
