Winter Talk: "What grows in your street? The rich and changing urban flora of Scotland" by John Grace

The  talk will show the results of a botanical survey of wild flowers in towns and cities throughout Scotland, with emphasis on how the flora is being influenced by climate change and by local and national policies on biodiversity.

John is an Emeritus Professor at Edinburgh University, who has been leading the Botanical Society of Scotland's project "The Urban Flora of Scotland" since 2015.

This season’s Winter Talks will take place on the first Thursday of the month from 10 October 2024 to 3 April 2025 (with the exception of January); refreshments afterwards.

The talks are free, but a donation to Dr Neil’s Garden would be welcomed.
