Reginald Farrer is one of the best know figures of the alpine plant world - and as such is honoured by the Alpine Garden Society by its premier Show Award, the Farrer Medal.
Yorks Gardens Trust in association with TGT present a Series of 4 Lectures: Man, Myth & Mountains, about Reginald Farrer and his World -
"Join us for Man, Myth and Mountains: Reginald Farrer (1880-1920) was an alpine plant collector, gardener and garden writer, who single-handedly changed the way the anglophone world writes about garden plants. He was also a travel-writer, rock gardener, novelist, poet and amateur water-colour painter, and became a Buddhist in 1908.
