Planthunter - A Celebration of Michael Wickenden

Exhibition: The Mill on the Fleet, Gatehouse of Fleet
1 July -3 September 2017

The Mill developed the exhibition Planthunter with Michael back in 2011 and is re-showing the exhibition in tribute to his work as a plant hunter and the development of Cally Gardens.  It focuses on a selection of his expeditions up until that point and is full of many fine photographs that he took while on expedition of the plants of course, but also of the landscapes and the peoples he encountered.

In that regard Michael was also a collector of art and artefacts while on his travels and the exhibition will show a slection of pieces which he brought back with him.

Michael Wickenden : 1955-2016

Michael Wickenden

It is with great sadness that we announce the death of Michael Wickenden of Cally Gardens, Scotland. Michael died on the 11th October 2016, whilst trekking in northern Myanmar (Burma). He was 61.

A great gardener, plantsman, explorer, photographer, teacher and friend; an inspiration to so many. He will be hugely missed.
