About
Peter became interested in tropical ferns whilst making regular trips to India in the 1990s and 2000s. He retired from the NHS in 2012 and was able to develop his interest in growing tropical ferns from spores. He now lives in Norwich where he can provide much more space for their culture. He maintains a particular interest in the ferns of South India and Sri Lanka.
