E-magazine feature on SRGC Website

[Maggi Young]

IRG 173 - free e-magazine: Connor Smith, a Scot now working at the Univ. of Utrecht Botanic Garden, shares some of the plants which took his eye on a January trip to Santiago, Chile that he undertook with his friend and fellow SRGC supporter, Luca Magi, from Australia. From the Botanical Garden of the University of Tübingen in Germany, Michael Mauser, gardener in the Ecological Alpine Centre brings an article on the propagation of Dionysia which is something of a speciality of the Botanic Garden.

IRG 174 for July 2024 is now online:  https://www.srgc.net/documents/irg/240726085558174%20July.pdf
Robert Barnard returns to IRG this month for another tale of his favourite hikes and areas in Northern California, this time to the Camp Creek area.
A short time ago, the Saxifraga Register, Adrian Young, completed the record keeping process for a delightful Saxifraga hybrid, being named by Gert Hoek for his friend, the plantsman, Geert Borgonje, who has recently been unwell.  The description of this saxifrage is given here. 
Finally this month we pay tribute to John M. Watson 1936- 2024 – who was a tireless contributor to the IRG and a fine friend to the Scottish Rock Garden Club.
