DR. CURT LAMBERTH
From JI to lava rock; what do habitats tell us about growing cacti?

I am sure that you may know Curt, a chemist now an environmental consultant, who has been growing cacti for 50 years. He has a passion for finding out what makes things tick, and applies his talents of inventing, designing and building equipment and analysing data for projects like tracking and monitoring wild mice, measuring the effect of ash-dieback on woodland microclimates and checking water quality in our rivers. He has an interest in raising cacti and orchids from seed and has been trying to solve some of the trickier problems of cultivating cacti. Tonight is a unique opportunity to hear about some of the solutions Curt has worked out along his 25 year long journey from John Innes to lava rock.
