Recent Meeting
The Members at the June meeting enjoyed a return visit from Claudio Bincoletto – professional forager, chef, horticulturist. His interest in botany began during his childhood years in Northern Italy. His primary profession was a chef, but during his national service, he became a trained forager in order to feed the troops when they were all out on exercise. During the last twenty years, as a chef and gardener in London he studied botany, herbal traditions and wild foods. He has an obvious passion for his subject, and brought with him wild plants, and seeds to taste, as well as examples of insects beneficial to the everyday gardener. This month’s competition featured a display of colourful and fragrant roses.
