This event includes an adjudicated AGSV Winter Plant Show for the first time.

PRESENTERS:

COLIN HUNT - Andy’s Rare Plants; A focus on small South African bulbs 

KEITH TOLLIS - Andy’s Rare Plants; Larger South African bulbs and hybridising 

GILLES LARDY- South African Gladioli 

JANE TONKIN Tonkin’s Bulbs; Panel discussion leader 

ANDY HARVIE Panellist

The illustrated/practical presentations focus on South African bulbs, including those of interest throughout August-September. 

The panel session rounds out the formal proceedings with a group discussion. 

Audience participation is encouraged throughout the whole day.

We are particularly excited with the introduction of the Winter Plant Show element – with judging criteria (tba) and prize cards (exhibiting is for AGSVG members only; exhibits are not limited to South African Bulbs). The inaugural Otto Fauser medal will be presented to the Best in Show. This medal celebrates Otto’s enthusiasm and contribution over a long period for growing and sharing his knowledge and plant material.

There will be plant sales to entice delegates (full listing - tbc), and light refreshments for delegates. Details of catering can be found at the Trybooking link above.
