Learning From The Wild
This week, we’re leafing through the pages of The Plant Review to explore a simple question: what can we learn from the wild?
American plantsman Daniel J. Hinkley reflects on a lifetime of exploration that has taken him to some of the wildest places on Earth in search of plants. Yet in his article he turns his attention to a small, unassuming genus growing close to home in Washington State: Coptis.
Next, David Pearce, curator of Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, transports us to the cloud-shrouded mountains of Madeira to meet a striking architectural plant found nowhere else in the wild, and one that he’s been successfully cultivating on the Dorset coast.
And finally, Sacchi Parasrampuria and James Miller take us to Poon Hill in Nepal, reflecting on a recent plant observation trip and the lessons they brought back from the Himalayas.
Hosts: James Armitage and Gareth Richards
Contributors: Daniel J Hinkley, David Pearce, Saachi Parasrampuria, James Miller
