Plant Hunting for Kew in Zimbabwe
Susan is a botanist specialising in the Aloes and Euphorbias of Tropical Africa. In 1988 and 1994 she explored Zimbabwe, finding many of her plants in full flower. Her travels took her north of Harare to the Zambezi Valley and the chrome-rich hills of the Great Dyke, then east to the lovely Chimanimani Mountains and south to the drier bushland of the Sabi Valley.

Natural Quarry
David first visited this hard-rock Somerset Quarry in the depths of winter and admits that, initially, it seemed a most unlikely place to find much wildlife. However, as the year unfolded, he was delighted with the wealth of colourful and interesting subjects that surrounded him. In the second half of his talk, David will take us the length of the Country, looking at animal life he found in over 80 hard-rock, sand and gravel quarries.
