For #plantsday, @noeleenbotanics arranged a lunchtime tour of Rosemount to show some fascinating plants and plant science that is being done here at Rosemount by researchers from @ucdagfood & @UCDSBES
The we were onto the orchards, where @davidjohnbrogan spoke about the Lamb-Clarke apple collection and the importance of conserving heritage varieties for the future
Attendees then got to taste the apple juice from the orchard to bring the tour to a successful end. Many thanks to all those that came down to Rosemount and to the researchers who gave of their time.
