History of the Len Beer Memorial lecture
Len Beer was Curator of Treborth Botanic Garden from 1965 to 1976; he made major developments to the Garden and was also a keen plant hunter. He was appointed Curator of Durham Botanical Garden in 1976, but sadly he died vey prematurely the following year, and this annual lecture series was set up in his memory.
This year the the guest speaker has been organised by the North Wales branch of The Alpine Garden Society but this is a joint event with The Friends of Treborth Botanic Garden. We welcome members and guests from both groups.
Social Distancing
We have organised the lecture to be held within the main arts lecture theatre which has a reduced capicity to allow for social distancing. It is our hope that these measures will encourage you to join the lecture in person. We had a few requests to host a live feed via zoom but being able to host the lecture in such a large space is a real bonus for us and we hope you will join us.
There will be no refreshments this year, again this is to avoid close contact. Please feel free to bring your own.
Masks are optional.
