The Lullingstone 20th Anniversary Convention
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of the World Garden of Plants at Lullingstone Castle, a special one-off convention has been arranged for Sunday 7th September which will take place in the onsite chapel. Three of the country's top speakers will be giving talks during the afternoon.

The Talks
-
Graham Charles will be presenting ‘Matucana in Habitat and Culture’, providing insights into this genus of beautifully flowered cacti and doubtless offering titbits from his much anticipated forthcoming book on the subject.
​​
-
Roger Ferryman is creating a bespoke talk for the occasion, marking the anniversary with a guided tour through the last 20 years of his extensive explorations in Chile and Argentina.
​​
-
Ian Woolnough will be regaling the audience with images and anecdotes from his many trips to Mexico, doubtless presented with his customary observation and humour.
Early Bird Entry
Admission includes half price entry to Cactus at the Castle with privileged early access to the event and the World Garden from 10:30am which should allow plenty of time for browsing and shopping but also for forward parking.
