New Zealand - plant hunting in Kiwi country. A talk by Harry Jans for the Alpine Garden Society

Harry studied Garden Design and Maintenance, but has been employed since 1982 by the Ministry of Transport, Public Works and Water Management and is an expert on winter maintenance. He is a passionate plant explorer, rock gardener for almost 40 years, founder member of the Dutch Rock Garden Society and was its president for 6 years. He organises and leads botanical tours all over the world. In 2014 he was awarded the prestigious AGS Lyttel Trophy.
His garden is well known for the tufa wall where he grows a large colony of the rare and difficult Jankaea heldreichii. His website contains close to 30.000 pictures of plants taken on his travels around the globe, and information about the alpines in his garden.
The Alpine Garden Society is an international, UK based, charitable organisation primarily concerned with the cultivation of alpine and mountain plants from around the world. The AGS is also involved in the study and conservation of alpine plants in the wild.
