| Alison Turner and Marilyn Faunt ‘Fern stories: the search for the 'magical fern seed' - and how fern knowledge grew' | Thursday, 8 June 2023 - 12:30pm to 1:30pm |
"Only people of discernment and good taste could appreciate the flowerless charms of ferns ". Such was the thinking that underpinned the fern mania of the mid-1800's when ferns became fashionable. Volunteer ANBG guides Alison Turner and Marilyn Faunt will share their fern discovery journey and hope we look at ferns with fresh eyes and discernment. Bookings can be made from the Friday before the talk until Wednesday night or until seating limits are reached. (Tickets are Free but a donation on entry is appreciated.) This talk will be held in the ANBG Theatrette. Booking Link: https://www.trybooking.com/CGTHZ |
