Guests at the Leicester Botanical Gardens
Alan Tye of the Charles Darwin Research Station in Galapagos, and Jill Sutcliffe of English Nature, both gave talks at the beautiful Leicester Botanical Gardens on 9 July 2004. Before the talks, those attending were lucky enough to have a private tour of the gardens.
Alan spoke about the plight of the plants of Galapagos. GCT is trying to raise funds in 2004 and 2005 to help save the 23 critically endangered plants of Galapagos - there is little funding available for this work and we must do something now.
Fittingly, Jill Sutcliffe spoke about the beautiful plants found in the English countryside and the dangers they face. It was a fascinating talk and we are grateful to Alan Tye, Jill Sutcliffe and Leicester Botanical Gardens for their help in this event.
