Tonight there is a party in Cornwall, a
party for a great guy!
Many of us have come across the
horticultural charity Perennial and are aware of the great work that
they do (if you don't know, please click here); a lot of their
work is funded through special events. Anyone who has been to
an event in Cornwall raising money for Perennial will almost have
certainly met George Kestell....
George's work for Perennial is fantastic- he will happily tell anyone about the work of this
valuable charity and raise it's profile among horticulturists and the
public alike, and he works tirelessly to raise as much money as possible.
George is very well known on
the Cornish horticultural scene, and is popular on the local BBC
radio gardening programme. He also lectures at Duchy College in Cornwall, as well as giving lively talks to garden clubs; his enthusiasm for his subject is
infectious, and hopefully some of that enthusiasm will rub
off onto others.
It's George's birthday (but I'd better
not say which one), and I would like to take this opportunity to wish
this great man many happy returns!
