Glasshouse Forum

PlantNetwork Glasshouse Forum brings together those involved in cultivating hot house plants. Practical workshops are arranged to allow members to meet, compare notes and discuss problems. Typically the meetings comprise morning talks and a tour or visit, followed by a general round-table discussion in the afternoon. This provides an opportunity for all participants to raise their own issues or activities, and to discuss the morning’s talks and tour.

Workshops of the PlantNetwork Glasshouse Forum, as with the other Forum groups, are only open to members of PlantNetwork – all members of PlantNetwork are welcome to attend. There is a small charge (usually ca. £10) for attending to cover the costs of lunch.

Contact the Glasshouse Forum through Judy Cheney (jc151@cam.ac.uk).
