    Demonstration / Talk / Lecture

Trevor Wiltshire and RHS Staff Enjoy a day in the company of these enchanting flowers, with a talk in the morning and a guided garden walk after a lunch break. Trevor was the superintendent of the rock garden at RHS Wisley and has served on local and national committees of the Alpine Garden Society and the Cyclamen Society. He will talk about wild Turkish snowdrops, how that country conserves wild populations of snowdrops and cyclamen, and explain CITES and its limitations. The propagation technique of twin scaling will be explained, with slides of the village of Dumlugöze's snowdrop growing fields and he will describe the frustrations of this laudable project to conserve wild populations and curb the digging-up of wild snowdrops for export.
