Dr Margaret Bradshaw MBE - A lifelong adventure with botany | The RHS

Botanist Dr Margaret Bradshaw MBE is career goals!
Margaret has spent most of her life studying and protecting plants. She started discovering and recording rare plants in Teesdale in the early 1950s.
The Teesdale violet, thyme, sea plantain, spring gentian, and tormentil all grow side by side on Widdybank Fell. Nowhere else in Britain do all these wild flowers grow together.
Margaret's vast data set, gathered across her lifespan, is showing these unique plants are in decline, so she's made it her mission to save them!
