"Talking Flowers"

by

Mike Watts
at
The Teikyo School, Framewood Road, Wexham, Nr Stoke Poges, Buckinghamshire
on
Wednesday, 9th May 2007

Commencing at 8.00pm

Mike Watts' talk explains the work of Plantlife, the charity for conserving Britain's wild flowers; what it is (the wild plant equivalent of the RSPB), why it is necessary and what it does. Our countryside is in crisis and wild plants are disappearing at an alarming rate, almost one species per county every year. Virtually all wild flower meadows have been destroyed; Plantlife is buying up some of the few that remain and keeps them as nature reserves. It is working to protect our landscape for the future and to save threatened species. All life depends on plants.

Mike Watts has, in his portfolio of talks, at least seven on The National Trust, one on Plantlife, one on Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust, one on the Chelsea Physic Garden and a special subject entitled "Plant Medicines from your Doctor". Previous talks to our Society have been "Buckinghamshire Properties of the National Trust" and "London's Secret Garden" (Chelsea Physic Garden).
