Plant Hunter, Horticulturist & Botanical Garden Curator

I am Tom Hart Dyke, a modern-day plant hunter, horticulturist, and curator of The World Garden at Lullingstone Castle in Kent. My work focuses on rare plants, botanical collections, plant hunting, and conservation through cultivation. I have travelled across regions including South America, Morocco, Tasmania, Indonesia, the Canary Islands, and Cape Verde to study plants in their natural habitats. I also develop and manage specialist plant collections, share horticultural knowledge, and promote the importance of global plant diversity and conservation.
