One of his most recent books, “It’s Not Just About the Hat,” describes his journey from a boy in Canada to an internationally known horticulturist.

The UWRA is delighted to announce its next distinguished speaker, Dr. Allan Armitage, one of the world’s leading horticulturists.

Join Dr. Allan Armitage on an unforgettable journey through some of the Great Gardens of the British Isles.

Beyond his distinguished academic career, Dr. Armitage has led garden tours across the globe for over 30 years. He has visited unique gardens in Japan, South Africa, New Zealand, England, Ireland, Wales, Australia, Scotland, Canada, and more. On April 2, he will share his expertise, insights, and stunning photography as we explore some of the breathtaking gardens of the British Isles. We will specifically see magnificent venues in England such as the gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society at Wisley, one of the world's finest water gardens in Longstock as well as fabulous stops in the Cotswolds and Cornwall. He also insisted we travel along with him to a few unbelievable gardens in Wales. 

Dr. Armitage’s photography has been widely published in books and featured on plant tags, while his popular garden app, Armitage’s Great Garden Plants, is a trusted resource for retailers, landscapers, and gardeners throughout North America.
