Oron Peri
Oron Peri has been fascinated by bulbous plants since his childhood, studying and growing them where he lives in Israel. He is a plantsman, garden designer, writer, photographer and a leader of botanical tours in various parts of the world. Many of the plants featured in his book and talk are from locations which, because of the political situation in this area, most people will never visit.

Ben Pick
I am from the USA. I received my degree in horticulture from North Carolina State University. Since graduating several years ago, I’ve been getting as much experience as possible in different settings and locations. My earliest experience was in the nursery setting and then design-build companies and landscape work. Finally, I discovered I was truly passionate about plants and discovering and using new plants and new combinations. This has led me to work in some wonderful plant-rich gardens, such as Kew Gardens, Denver Botanic Garden, Great Dixter, and most recently Chanticleer.
