Dr Heather Pardoe is our speaker for March. She is the senior curator managing the Welsh National Herbarium at the National Museum Cardiff.  Dr. Pardoe will deliver an illustrated talk celebrating the remarkable women botanists whose contributions helped shape the discipline and share highlights from the botanical art collection at the National Museum of Wales. Her presentation brings to life the stories of these pioneering women, revealing the challenges, limitations, and prejudice they had to overcome in order to follow their passion for botany during the Victorian era.
