Dawn with a trial plant of Euphorbia 'Baby Charm'

Plant enthusiast and Walberton’s ‘Trials and Training Supervisor’ Dawn Smith attended her first meeting as an RHS trial committee member when she visited RHS Garden Wisley this week.

Dawn has been invited to join the committee responsible for trialling Euphorbia, initially a three year commitment. Dawn brings a considerable degree of expertise to this trial as she has assisted in the introduction of a number of well established garden favourites to the market through our new plant introduction programme. These include Euphorbia x martinii ‘Rudolph’, ‘Tiny Tim’ and ‘Red Flush’.

On learning that Dawn had joined such a prestigious group, Tim Crowther, General Manager commented, ‘We are thrilled for both Dawn and ourselves to be involved with the RHS. I am sure we will get a lot out of it and I know Dawn will contribute greatly to the combined knowledge of her committee’.
