“The PLANTS Project” – Dr Anna Florence, National Trust for Scotland
18th February, 2025 @ 7:30 pm - 8:30 pm
The PLANTS project (Plant Listing at The National Trust for Scotland) is a three-year project to inventory the National Trust for Scotland’s plant collections across its major gardens and designed landscapes. This project is providing up to date records for use in managing, protecting and promoting its plant collections and has uncovered some fascinating surprises about the plants in the Trust’s care.
Dr Anna Florence originally trained in plant science at Edinburgh University before completing a PhD at SRUC/Edinburgh University studying photosynthetic efficiency in spring barley. After working as a researcher and lecturer in crop science and remote sensing at SRUC she moved to work as the Curator of Plant Collections at the National Trust for Scotland.
Our talks take place in the Lecture Theatre at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. All talks will begin at 7.30pm. The talks are free and are open to non-members. No need to book, just come along on the day. All we ask is that you make a small donation at the door or perhaps buy a raffle ticket if you can. For those who have not attended a lecture at RBGE before, entry is via the main reception: 20a Inverleith Row, Edinburgh, EH3 5LR (not far from the East Gate).
