In the Footsteps of George Sherriff - T01278449595

A talk by Julia Corden, Explorers Garden Manager - In 2008, Explorers Garden Manager, Julia Corden, was invited to Bhutan to retrace the footsteps of plant hunter George Sherriff, marking the 60th anniversary of Sherriff’s last trip to this little known kingdom. Relive Julia’s journey, which began in Bhumtang, moved along remote paths - some of which were part of the famous 'Snow Man Trek', known as one of the most dangerous and hardest treks in the world - and on and up to the very high mountain passes near the Tibetan border. Julia will discuss some of her amazing discoveries and experiences in this area, which has not been botanised in the last 59 years - not, in fact, since George Sherriff’s time. Together with stunning landscape pictures from this beautiful Himalyan kingdom, this will be a fascinating tale from a modern day plant hunter.Performer Julia Corden.
