Our Plant Stories

Corokia Offshoot

Who were the celebrity gardeners of the 1850's and why were they important to a fledgling charity called Perennial?

The charity still exists today. It's dedicated to looking after people working in horticulture and their families, at any stage of life.

The charity's roots go back almost 200 years and garden historian, Francesca Murray has, for her Phd, spent many hours in its archive. She shares a fascinating story for this Offshoot episode. You can see photographs of original documents on the website: Our Plant Stories.com
