Yorkshire Gardens Talk
My garden talks are illustrated with slides, projected from a computer using a data projector.
To give a flavour of what is included, I have uploaded the slides for this talk as pdf files, though in practice they are Powerpoint files. I have split the talk into sections to reduce the waiting time when downloading the files to view, and of course there is no commentary, which I provide in person when giving the talk. The content of the talk does change fairly regularly (as the gardens change or I make new visits). Despite these limitations, the files should still provide a reasonable idea of what this talk is about.
A map of Yorkshire showing where the gardens are is available as a pdf. Also some brief notes.
