Happy Birthday to a great man of horticulture

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!
