Thank you, thank you, thank you Mark! Utterly thrilled & blown away to be your #bookoftheyear, especially amongst such amazing company. But also chuffed to bits Urban Plants did what I hoped - get people looking at the concrete jungle in a totally new light. Will celebrate with a beer or two!

Fair enough with that one! Very nice. Was thinking more of the bog-standard supermarket monstrosities.

And read the 200 page report. And interviewed one of the authors, and the NRW strategic lead, and an expert at Bangor Uni. And been down to Newborough Warren to see some of the work. I’m told the report should be made public today.

Thanks George. Top quality reporting, I was just amazed at the radio silence on the NRW website. One of the species I’m working to conserve grows at Newborough so it was great to hear it mentioned.

If anyone can find it on the NRW website, or has a copy of the report, I’d love to see it!
