THEMED GUIDED WALK 'CHINESE PLANTS IN OUR GARDENS'

China had the first Botanical Garden in 138 BC, an enormous park with 2,000 different plants and hot houses. 2nd emperor Yang Di in Sui dynasty (581-618AD) built the largest gardens in history and searched far and wide for rare and beautiful plants. 2,000 years of Chinese horticultural endeavour enrich gardens all over the world.  Join me on a walk on 13th September at 2.00 to see how many of our plants have Chinese origins!
