On Saturday 4th Sept, the 2010 Botanical Art Biennale was opened. As part of the exhibition, Kirstenbosch Scholar Julia Dabush was tasked with setting up a horticultural display of threatened plants. Listen to her explain the context of the exhibition on You Tube ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nClJfWlzmTw ). In this video she describes the relevance of both art and horticulture to the conservation of rare and endangered plant species.
The exhibition was opened at the Old Mutual Conference Centre, and the opening address delivered by Prof Stephen Hopper, Director of the RBG at Kew. His short opening address can be seen at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2ldOvKFlcs
