THE YORKSHIRE DALES: FROM HERRIOT TO HOME


 Set in the heart of Northern England, this rural landscape formed the backdrop of James Herriot's book and PBS TV series "All Creatures Great & Small" This presentation includes photos and descriptions of the dales from medieval times to the present day, and follows a circuitous route from the northerly Wensleydale, where James Herriot entered the dales in 1939, to the southernmost, Airedale, where I spent my formative years.

THE ART OF THE COTTAGE GARDEN

Horticulture maybe a science, but creating gardens which speak to one's soul is an art form. This presentation explores the qualities and characteristics that define cottage gardens and offers practical advice on how to achieve this in your landscape.
