Mr Fothergill's marks Peter's 80th with painting of Seabrook's lavender


Suffolk seedsman Mr Fothergill's marked leading garden writer Peter Seabrook's 80th birthday earlier this month with the gift of a painting of Verbena Seabrook's Lavender by botanical artist Isobel Bartholomew.
 
The presentation was made to Peter, who has worked in horticulture for more than 60 years, by the company's joint-managing directors David Carey and John Fothergill at a celebration lunch.

"We wanted to mark Peter's outstanding contribution to the world of gardening in a unique way, and felt a painting of the flower he discovered and developed was appropriate," remarked John.

"His enthusiasm, and in particular his commitment to encourage youngsters to grow plants is remarkable."
 
Peter commented: "I had never thought of commissioning a botanical drawing for my Verbena and the framed painting was an unexpected and most welcome gift. I could not be more pleased with both the thought and action by Mr Fothergill’s staff."
