We know that new plants are discovered every year, and that many plants have their name changed after "DNA studies". But how does it all work? In this talk, I go back to the basics of DNA, life's building blocks, and explain in simple terms how DNA can be used to identify and compare plants.

Trained as a botanist & ecologist, I am fascinated by the natural world in all its forms. I have previously worked in a botanical garden, and in a national charity conserving the wonderful diversity of cultivated plants in the UK, from rare vegetable varieties to 18th century carnations.
I now work freelance as horticultural advisor, ecological surveyor, botanical tour leader (Europe and Asia) and writer.
I have given talks to a wide range of audiences, from gardening clubs, professional landscapers, to MSc students or government staff. I am always happy to adapt the length and the content of my talks to your needs.
As I have moved to France, I mainly give online talks (Zoom, Google, Teams...) though please feel free to contact me if you'd like to discuss about an in-person talk in the UK.
