Glad you enjoyed the Fernery, and hoped the students enjoyed it too.
Great day at Southport Fernery @FernBPS with Alison Evans and our 3rd years. Todays session was all about Plants, Heath and Green spaces. @the_bp_botanist looks super happy with his Monstera present. @BiologyEHU #plantawarness

16/10/20 Lancs - Not been on #twitter much the last week or so due to moving house, plus we have no internet or decent mobile reception at the new pad. We do however have lots more wildlife - here’s some #lichens and Polypody #ferns in our wall #fernfriday

Garretts also manufactured Watsonian Patent Fern Bricks.
Patented by a doctor in 1859, these bricks were designed for planting ferns and mosses, to be hung on their own, built into walls, or even placed indoors on a table.

@FernBPS @BSBIbotany Recording plants in grounds of a garden centre here in Northants in the rain i crawled under a load of benches to find an alien fern species naturalised amongst lots of Harts tongue at base of outside of greenhouse wall. Im not sure of the species.

Great to see so much media coverage in past 24 hours about one tiny rare fern who travelled from tropical cloud-forest to Killarney, was found by @NimbosaEcology, IDd by Fred Rumsey @NHM_Botany, pub'd in #BritishandIrishBotany.
