Event details
About the event
Botanists, and all nature lovers, today owe a debt to Joan Gibbons for her work to produce a Flora for Lincolnshire. Published in 1975 it provides a unique view of the region’s flora. It was also of some historical significance as the first full Flora of an English county to be written by a woman.
Debbie Lincoln of the Sir Joseph Banks Society will look back at this ground breaking book, and celebrate it's authoress Miss E Joan Gibbons. Plus there will be an update on the LoveLincsPlants project.
