Vicky joins the British Conifer Society Commitee
Vicky Tate (Co-owner of Lime Cross Nursery) has been elected to join the committee of the British Conifer Society
Anyone who knows Vicky will know that she is a green-fingered earth child at heart and that she has a natural understanding and love of plants, as well as being incredible knowable. We are super proud to announce that Vicky has been elected to join the committee of the British Conifer Society (BCS) , this was formalised last Sunday at the society AGM held at RHS Wisley.
Jonathan Tate, Vicky's father was a founding member and former vice-chairman of the BCS, it has therefore remained important for the nursery and family to stay involved. Vicky, Diana and Helen Tate all traveled with the society to Ireland in September, where they toured the pinetums, arboretums and significant gardens of the south west.
Matthew Pottage (Garden Manager at RHS Wisley) is another member of the committee, who is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about conifers. Matthew has recently created some truly remarkable plantings using conifers mixed with other plant groups at RHS Wisley, where he is in charge of over 150 acres and a team of over 100 people.
One of the societies primary objectives this year is to focus on recruiting new members. The annual joining fee is £20 which covers the cost of the quarterly journal, as well as lectures in London and the opportunity to attend the annual tour, which this year takes place in California.
Please contact Vicky by e mail vicky.tate@limecross.co.uk or call 01323 833229 if you are interested in joining. The only requirement is a genuine love of nature and preferably conifers!
