E-mail Print PDF

Members will have received with the last edition of the Newsletter a complimentary copy of the Dulwich Society's Map of Remarkable Trees in Dulwich, compiled by the Trees Committee and illustrated by Rosemary Lindsay SBA. The response to this publication has been one of delight and the map will be a source of much pleasure for years to come.

Rosemary Lindsay trained first in architecture but now works mainly as a freelance botanical illustrator; a fascination with the structure of plants led to this change of occupation. She is a painting member of the Society of Botanical Artists and of the Chelsea Physic Garden Florilegium Society. Her paintings have been included in a British Council Travelling Exhibition on British Illustrators and numerous other shows including that of the R.H.S. Her work has appeared in the R.H.S. Plant Registers and The Plantsman. She contributes regularly to the quarterly journal Hortus and opens her garden in Burbage Road to the public under the National Gardens Scheme.

Further copies of the Tree Map are on sale in local shops price £3.50 or in a flat edition in a tube at £4.

 

Newsflash

Our objects are to create the sense of community that one would hope to find in a good village, to increase awareness of local history and the character that make Dulwich special, to foster an appreciation of open spaces and trees, to introduce the people who live and work here to each other, and to help them to enjoy the atmosphere and life of Dulwich.
