Gardening in 2046, 02 December 2021
Have you ever wondered what gardens and gardening might be like in 25 years time? The session will start with a series of lightning talks – short presentations on a series of topics related to the future of gardening – providing an opportunity to hear from a range of speakers. Following these short talks, there will be a panel discussion. The panel, chaired by Philip Turvil, will discuss their perspectives on what the future might look like – from the planting we will be using to management approaches. You’ll have an opportunity to ask the panel any questions you might have about ‘Gardening in 2046’!
FREE to all.
