Clematis Weekend
Meet visiting clematis expert Raymond Evison
on Sunday between 10.30am and 4.00pm to answer questions and he will be holding talks at 11.30am and 2.30pm.
In 1995 Raymond Evison was awarded RHS Victoria Medal of Honour for his outstanding service to British Horticulture. This was followed by an OBE (2000) for services to Horticulture. He was awarded the RHS Reginald Cory Memorial Cup in 2005 for far-reaching work in breeding and developing new clematis cultivars.
Raymond Evison has also written many books about Clematis. His first book "Making the Most of Clematis" was issued in 1977 and is now in its 3rd reprint. This was followed by "The Gardeners Guide to Growing Clematis" (1998), "Clematis for Everyone" (2000) and more recently “Clematis for Small Spaces”(2007), which earned him the Garden Media Guild award for Reference Book Of The Year.
A celebrated horticulturalist, Raymond has won over 20 gold medals at Chelsea, with 8 Chelsea gold medals for exhibits of clematis cultivars.
On Saturday Simon Catteral from Garden Centre Plants will be on hand to give expert advice.
Well known within the horticultural industry, Simon Catteral is a clematis enthusiast with vast experience. He will be available to offer useful hints and tips regarding choosing
and growing clematis.
