Hi, Zoe P here. Zoe B and I are off to Durban to present our micropropagation workshop in just four weeks and it seems like a good idea to introduce the rest of our team. There are two adults coming with us, our teacher Simon Pugh-Jones and Dr Lauren Gardiner. Lauren is a plant scientist from Kew Gardens. She had been working as a consultant with Writhlington School for a while and is really inspiring. Lauren is presenting a lecture at the BGCI Congress and hopefully Zoe and I will be helping her out a bit with that as well as doing our workshop. This photo shows the School expedition to the Himalayas last April with Lauren in the middle and Simon on the right.
