So informative and interesting. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
The guide had the perfect blend of knowledge, enthusiasm and kind interaction. A gem!
Great tour, covered a good range of plants with interesting themes e.g invasion, evoultion and environmental change. Guide had great knowledge and enthusiasm but gave the talk good general appeal.
Excellent guide, very knowledgeable and engaging. Thoroughly enjoyable!
Pointed out things I wouldn’t have noticed before – a focus on the trees, which I otherwise might have ignored.
