TALKING PLANTS A social evening for people who love plants seeded in Sheffield with roots across the North - we're excited to host the next edition of this brilliant series at The Mowbray on Tuesday 29th October at 19.30.

Richard Scott is Director of the National Wildflower Centre at the Eden Project, delivering creative conservation project work nationally, always with a Liverpool base.

He is also Chair of the UK Urban Ecology Forum, He has delivered wildflower landscapes with partners including local authorities and community forests. 

Richard has developed successful new creative conservation techniques including soil inversion which has delivered startling new habitats across the UK for a selection for grassland, woodland, heathland and dune habitats, which are now extraordinary examples of what can be achieved with the right starting point. This experience was encapsulated in the Award-winning publication Wildflowers Work (1993, 1997 and 2004): a practical guide with detailed specifications for implementing wildflower landscapes. 

Join us for his talk about Scouse Flowerhouse, a joyous celebration of flowers and creative ecology. Imagining what is possible with wildflowers as a starting point. It's infectious ways of bringing wildflowers back to the people.
