The phenomenal success of Scotland’s gardening men has been well documented throughout history, but what of the women? Until now, there have been only glimpses of the extraordinary women who went ‘beyond their garden gates’ - women who cultivated, collected and made substantial contributions to horticulture within Britain. In-depth biographies of a selection of Scottish gardening women reveal how they were effectively marginalised and why their work has largely been forgotten within the narrative of Scotland’s garden history.

I assume this lecture is over subscribed as I have just followed the link to discover it is SOLD OUT.

Just out of curiosity, how many attendees does the system used allow?

Thanks in advance

[Maggi Young]

No idea which licence the  Caley has  for  Zoom - there  are  different  price  ranges allowing  differing  numbers  of  participants.

[Maggi Young]

I'm told the Caley  uses Microsoft Teams which  I think has limit  of  300.  "Sold  out"  is  a  misnomer, of  course, just  standard  word usage  by  Eventbrite - the  Caley  talk is  free.

News from the Caley that they have  increased their  numbers for the  talk so more  places available  now!
Great news!!
