Museums and Archives

The launch of Museums and Archives published byPest took place on Wednesday at Lancashire Museum in Preston. It began in the Victorian schoolroom with talks by Pest member-Rebecca Chesney and Leander Wolstenholme, Curator of Botany at Manchester Museum then moved to the education room where people could have tea and cakes and chat. If I say it also involved dressing up from the basket of Victorian clothes and a Blackpool FC football scarf you get more of an idea of the informal atmosphere. It was great. It was attended by curators, artists, students and aspiring knitters. If you would like a copy of the publication visit pestpublications.org.uk
My work will continue away from the herbarium for the next couple of months. I am continuing to explore the world of FLORICULTURE
