Trees have been a lifelong interest for Dr Mary Forrest from her time studying in the Botanic Gardens, through cataloging tree and shrub collections in Ireland to her many years as a horticultural lecturer in University College Dublin.
Though trees native to Ireland number 17 – 20 species, trees introduced over many centuries from the temperate regions of the world number in the hundreds, not to mention the many varieties of trees selected by the nursery trade both abroad and in Ireland. In this lecture we look at a selection of these trees, with an emphasis on those suitable for a suburban garden.
Event Details:
The lecture will be held at the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin at 11am on Saturday 8th March 2025. Free entry, all welcome.
