Events Description

 

Connor Smith will introduce us to the Rock Garden at Utrecht Botanic Garden, the largest academic botanic garden in the Netherlands. It is one of the largest in Europe and hosts more than 3,000 different species. With special focus on the Rock Garden and its collections, basically at sea level.

Connor gained an interest in alpine plants when working under alpine expert Elspeth MacKintosh at RBGE. Elspeth’s passion and knowledge inspired Connor to pursue a specialization in alpine plants. In 2019, he worked for the Schachen Alpine Garden high in the German mountains on a Merlin Trust placement. He has been Head of the Utrecht garden since 2020.
