Friends of Glasgow Botanic Gardens Talk-Horticultural Manavilins

As befits a proud member of the Cornish diaspora Paul Matthews talk on Thursday 24th October 2019 smacks of the sea but possibly in title only. A manavilin is a nautical term of bits and pieces, odds and sods or the scraps left over in a barrel. Paul’s long career in botany and horticultural has left him with a ship load of tales of his horticultural exploits and occasional misfortune. A very engaging speaker, Paul will be delivering the first talk in the Autumn series for the Friends at the University of Glasgow, Bower Building, University Avenue, Glasgow. Talk starts at 7.30 on Thursday 24th October and its free to members of the Friends of Glasgow Botanic Gardens. Non-members also welcome
