I’ve Got A New Plant – What Do I Do Now?

Have you ever wondered how new plant varieties are created? What goes into developing and breeding a new plant? And what do you do if you discover or create something new in your own garden?

This talk looks in depth at the new plant development process, including an introduction to Plant Variety Rights and the commercial aspects of new variety development, as well as a discussion of the qualities required to make a new plant a success. It also looks at the role of the breeders’ agent and will either give you an insight into the origin of new plants – or perhaps even inspire you to try a little plant breeding of your own!
