IRL, Head gardeners and their team.

I was looking at the Abbey Gardens site yesterday and saw that while
Mike Nelhams who is the Curator of the garden does many lecture tours,
as we knew, so does the Head Gardener *and* the Propagator does cruise
lectures. Obviously, these can be jobs with both more interest and
more lucrative interest than many of us had realised!

During the various different legs of our Cruise Around the World on Aurora
during January, February and March this year, we had many Gerden themed
lectures by guest speakers ranging from the Gardens at Buckingham Palace,
Kew Gardens and talks on Flower growing for display amongst others.

Each of the five legs, Southampton to San Fransisco, San Francisco to
Sydney, Sydney to Hong Kong, Hong Kong to Mumbai and Mumbai to Southampton
had a different set of Theme Lectures and Star Entertainers and Cabaret
Stars, one of which had the State Rom next to ours:-))

Anyone never having been cruising, it is strongly recommended as these
artists/lectures are travelling with you and are available for a 'friendly
chat'.

And if you are into painting and photography, there are lessons/instruction
on these themes as well. Want to get your garden water colour painting up to
perfection? Take a long cruise :-))

Always well attended.

Mike
