Dr Keith Ferguson Talks:
Traveling for Plants in South America A very long journey begins in two nature reserves in the Brazilian highlands each has a very rich flora and adjacent enchanting Portuguese style villages. It moves on to the arid “plano alto’ at some 3000m on the Argentina/Bolivian/Chilean borders with spectacular scenery and giant cacti. Travelling on through the wine growing regions of San Juan and Mendoza to northern Patagonia where snow topped volcanoes provide a backdrop to stands of Monkey Puzzles and southern beeches (Nothofagus) and some extraordinary alpine plants notably “rosulate violets”. Moving west to coastal Chile we find many plants we know from our gardens. The journey concludes in the dramatic national park of Torres del Peine with some of the unique plants of the southern tip of the continent.
Many of our garden plants originate from North American wild flowers, shrubs and trees. Plants are shown region by region across the continent from the Appalachians to California both in the wild and in cultivation in British gardens. Cultural requirements are discussed in relation to native habitats. Plants we know and grow include Phlox, Tradescantia, Aster, Solidago and many other plants of our herbaceous borders not to mention shrubs, trees. woodland perennials and alpines.
