Step back in time and explore the fascinating world of prehistoric plants with Philip Bishop, Director of Horticulture at Powell Gardens. From towering tree ferns to ancient cycads and spore-bearing giants, discover the living plant lineages that thrived alongside dinosaurs and shaped the Earth's earliest ecosystems.
This talk will highlight the botanical survivors of the Jurassic era, their evolutionary adaptations, and how these "living fossils" still grow and inspire us today. Perfect for plant lovers, dinosaur enthusiasts, and curious minds of all ages.
