Irish Autumn Meeting & AGM

This year's Autumn Meeting & AGM was held face-to-face on Saturday, 24th September at Glasnevin National Botanic Gardens. Fifty botanists really enjoyed meeting up and participating in the programme of talks and workshops. All the talks were recorded and you can see them on the Irish Autumn Meeting & AGM page.

Aquatic Plant Project

In 2022 we held three online webinars and organised eight aquatic field training days with experts. Nick Stewart also presented a talk and led short walks to look at aquatics in the ponds in the National Botanic Gardens on the day of the Irish Autumn Meeting. Videos of all the webinars and the talk are now available to watch on the  Aquatic Plant Project page.
