Plant hunting in Croatia
Saturday 22 to Saturday 29 April and the week following
Members will have a tour of Croatia in two minibuses, starting in Dubrovnik and ending in Zagreb. The event is primarily botanical with some sightseeing in old Dubrovnik and a visit to a school with an interesting botanical garden further north. As well as exploring Mediterranean-climate areas near the sea, there will be days in the Velebit highlands and Plitvice National Park. The trip is timed to catch interesting orchids and bulbs.
