Scotsman George Forrest travelled to Yunnan in south-west China seven times between 1904 and 1932 to collect plants for British gardens, often risking his own life to do so. Hear Leonie Paterson recount his stories and adventures and see some of the incredible photographs he took on his travels, taken from the Botanics’ rich archives.
With Leonie Paterson, RBGE.
