Talk: A Botanical Journey though Japan

Thursday 26th March, 7.30pm

Martyn Denney’s talk will take us through the highlights of a six week journey from Yakushima in the far southwest to the flower island of Rebun off the northern tip of Hokkaido in the extreme northeast. We will explore high alpines, meadows, woodland plants, shrubs, trees, botanical gardens and the odd temple.
