Dr Chris Gibson- Wildlife advocate for The Beth Chatto Gardens

'Although a conservationist by profession, and an ecologist by training, everything I have done has been linked to my life-long passion for natural history. In 2009 I was lucky enough to receive the David Bellamy Award of the British Naturalists’ Association, recognising ‘a naturalist of distinction’. Now I have the time and opportunity to return to my roots as a naturalist, and to do what I do best – trying to enthuse others about the natural world.'

The attendees also enjoyed a behind the scenes tour of the nursery and propagation areas.

Georgia Ward Dyer from the Young Propagators Society has written a detailed blog about the day including short video clips of David, Asa and John. Use the link below to read Georgia's blog.
