The autumn meeting of The Meconopsis Group will have talks about expeditions to two areas of the Sino-Himalayan mountains, where lots of Meconopsis and other plants grow.
There is a lot more packed into the programme. It is best if you can come and enjoy meeting other enthusiasts, but if you can't manage that, you can join the meeting with Zoom.
