Gardeners’ Question Time

Have you ever wished that you could replicate the wonderful gardens of St John’s in your own back garden? Join us for a very special Gardeners’ Question Time, where the expert gardeners of St John’s College will be sharing their knowledge, answering your questions, and offering tips to help your own green spaces thrive.

📅 Date: Wednesday 11 June
🕒 Time: 12.30pm BST
📍 Location: Zoom
🎟️ All members of the College community are warmly invited

This informal and engaging session is your chance to tap into the incredible experience of the St John’s gardening team. We will be joined by our Head Gardener, David Austrin, Deputy Head Gardener, David Brown, and one of our Skilled Gardeners, Zoe Cullen.

The session will be recorded, so if you’re unable to attend, you’ll still be able to watch the video at your convenience. If you would like to submit a question, please email development@joh.cam.ac.uk and we will be sure to ask it for you.

This talk will take place on Wednesday 11 June at 12.30pm (BST) on Zoom.

How to make the most of our virtual events

Find a quiet, private spaces
It’s important to find a quiet space to listen to the talk in order not to be disruptive to others while your microphone is on.

Always mute your microphone if you are not speaking
This ensures you enter the talk quietly and that any background noises that could be distracting to the speaker and other participants are now inaudible. To “mute” yourself, click the “Mute” button (microphone). A red slash will appear over the microphone icon indicating that your audio is now off.

Raise your hand
During the Q&A session, click on the icon labelled “Participants” at the bottom centre of your PC or Mac screen. At the bottom of the window on the right side of the screen, click the button labelled “Raise Hand.” Your digital hand is now raised, and the moderator will tell you when it’s your turn to ask your question.
