6 - On witch hazels, botanical gardens, curating and taxonomy
Annet Breure (www.herbaltales.com) speaks with James Byng. Curator of the Delft botanical gardens since autumn 2020. He shares with us his experience in the first few months of the botanical gardens, and also the plans he has for the garden coming seasons. James tells about the role and history of the gardens and his vision on the importance of taxonomy and nature conservation. And with so many plant lovers, how can it be that botany is a really unpopular study? Extra attention in this episode for the witch hazels (hamamelidaceae) of which the national collection of the Netherlands is curated in Delft.
