An Audience with Tony Kirkham and Jon Hammerton

31 July 2008

Jon Hammerton and Tony KirkhamTony Kirkham and Jon Hammerton, two of TV's best known tree lovers, are back on our screens this summer in their very own BBC2 series, searching for The Trees That Made Britain.

You can meet the head of Kew's arboretum, Tony Kirkham and leading arborist, Jon Hammerton in this one-off evening event. Come and discover more about their arboreal adventures and their obvious love of trees in our exclusive Audience with Tony Kirkham and Jon Hammerton on Thursday 31 July 2008 at 7pm.  

Tony and Jon, in their typically honest and enthusiastic style, will regale you with fascinating stories from the making of the series and reveal unseen footage from the programme. You will have the chance to chat with them over a glass of wine and ask these tree experts for some gardening advice of your own. There is also the opportunity to get a signed copy of their book.

The event will take place in Cambridge Cottage on Kew Green, a Grade II listed building and former royal residence, on Thursday 31 July from 7pm - 10pm.

Tickets are £22 each, including wine and nibbles, for both Friends of Kew members and non-members. To book, please call 020 8332 3229 during office hours.  Bookings will be taken from 9 June 2008.

And don't miss the new series of Trees That Made Britain on Fridays at 7.30pm on BBC2!
