Report on our September meeting with Matt Biggs

By Jo Bromwich

  

We had a full house this evening to hear Radio and TV gardener Matt Biggs give an amusing and interesting talk about the wonders of the botanical world. He brought along copies of his latest book of the same name which sold out (many more on order).


He showed stunning close up photos to illustrate his talk showing the ways that plants are pollinated with the help of amphibians, bats, birds, as well as insects.


Seen here Matt signing copies of his book and chatting to some of our members.
