The National Garden Scheme have just announced their 4th year of openings in Northern Ireland.

Four members of Botanic Network Ireland have recently returned from a highly successful 3 week plant hunting trip to Northern Vietnam. Working with staff from the Vietnamese Institute of Biological and Ecological Resources (IEBR) they explored areas close to the Chinese border that are to form part of a newly designated national park.

The first ever GoIT Workshop was held recently at the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin.
