Peter Thurman: Designing and Working with Trees

About

March's Coffee Time Talk for Friends of Lewes members features Peter Thurman, who will illustrate the beauty and tenacity of trees, explain their benefits and threats, and show examples of how they can be used in the landscape.

Peter Thurman is a member of The Trees Committee of Friends of Lewes, (Lewes Urban Arboretum Project). A Kew-trained landscape and garden designer and a tree, environmental and horticultural consultant with over 30 years' experience, he is also a published author, writer and teacher.

He is a fellow of the Arboricultural Association and the Chartered Institute of Horticulture, and has chartered status in trees, forestry, horticulture and the environment.

He teaches and is an examiner at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew and the London College of Garden Design. He writes regularly for various professional journals and magazines and is in demand as a speaker at conferences, seminars and workshops.
