Julia Corden has been involved with SRGC for longer than it is polite to mention! Julia, from Pulborough in Sussex, studied at RHS Wisley and the RBG Edinburgh and also has experience of working in the likes of Inshriach nursery and great public gardens. For many years now she has been the garden manager at the Explorers' Garden in Pitlochry, where she oversees tremendous advances to this popular garden. Her involvement with SRGC has seen her serve in many capacities at local and national level, including as Show Secretary for Perth, as Administrator of the Diana Aitchison Student Grant Fund and as organiser for several Discussion Weekends and other SRGC events. Julia travels the UK and abroad as a Speaker, always using the opportunity to publicise the Club, wherever she may be. Julia is also a freelance Botanical/Garden tour guide and this work, along with many private trips she has made, as well as with expeditions aided by SRGC, mean she has first-hand knowledge of the flora of a great many countries of the world and connection to gardeners and the wonderful SRGC members and members of sister organisations around the world. The Scottish Rock Garden Club is very important to Julia - she is deeply committed to the objectives of the Club to spread knowledge and build an international community of plant lovers - there can be no doubt she will work tirelessly to this end. We are fortunate - and delighted - to welcome Julia as our President.
