Meet Eleonora Giuliodori
In her presentation Eleonora will talk about her experience in the UK, how she fitted into a different country, working and learning new skills as a horticulturist, a job that, in her experience is given very little consideration in Italy, but that she sees becoming more and more important in the light of climate change and new world challenges.
The second of the ongoing series of lectures that aims to have English-speaking gardeners, the world over, share their experience.
