Talk: The Life and Times of Thomas Hopkirk

Illustrated talk by Dick Peebles, chair of Clyde & Argyll Fungus Group. Hopkirk (1785-1841) was a pioneer of Scottish botany and mycology and founder of the Glasgow Botanic Gardens. Those who’ve been on fungus forays with Dick will know him as a very entertaining speaker whose enthusiasm for fungi is matched only by his fascination with those who pursued the same passion in an age very different to our own.

Talk is free to members, £2 to non-members.

Tea and biscuits after the talk.
