Louise Jones from RHS Plant Pathologist
'I’m fascinated by the interactions between plants and the pathogens that cause plant diseases. As an RHS plant pathologist, I study microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria and viruses, with my research focusing on diseases that affect RHS and member gardens. My goal is to provide science-based advice for management. I also respond to plant health enquiries through the RHS Garden Advice Service and at RHS Shows, and give educational talks on disease identification and control.' - Louise Jones
The evening will include a plant sale of both common, rare and unusual plants grown by Surrey Group Members, a raffle and the opportunity to enter the 'Flower of the Meeting Competition'.
