2014 CONFERENCE 10 - 12th October.

BOTANY OF DESIRE - The Role of Nurseries in the Irish Garden & Beyond

10 - 12 Oct at National Botanic Gardens Glasnevin, Dublin

We will be uploading our flyer & Booking Form soon,  so keep an eye out.

Our conference this October will explore for the first time in Ireland the role of nurseries, both private and commercial, in the development of our gardens. For centuries the nursery trade has supplied the plant needs of garden owners, a role which expanded exponentially during the Victorian era with the arrival of railways, improved mail services and the publication of catalogues. Nurseries have also often been involved in garden and park design and have played a major role in the development of agriculture and forestry. There will be great speakers like Roy Lancaster, Seamus O'Brien, Mary Forrest, Charles Nelson, John Joe Costin, Brian Duncan and others, so keep 10th-12th October dates in your diary.
