Why Is Noel Lothian Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Thomas Robert Noel Lothian OBE, NDH , LFRAIPR, JP was a long-term director of the Adelaide Botanic Garden and an Australian botanist. Lothian was born on 25 December 1915 in the Melbourne suburb of Mont Albert. After completing school at Scotch College, Melbourne, he studied at Burnley Horticultural College. He worked in botanical gardens in Melbourne and at the Christchurch Botanic Gardens in New Zealand, then started study at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in 1938. Lothian was an exchange student at the Munich Botanic Garden when the Second World War broke out, catching the last train out of Germany in 1939. After returning to the United Kingdom to complete studies at Kew Gardens, he joined the Australian Army and as a lieutenant managed army farms supplying food to the troops in central New Guinea. After the war, he gained the National Diploma of Horticulture , for which he was awarded the Cockayne Gold Medal. He was appointed Senior Lecturer in Horticulture, at Lincoln Agricultural College near Christchurch, New Zealand, where he established the horticultural diploma and degree courses. In late 1947 he was appointed director of the Adelaide Botanic Garden, a position he held for 33 years until 1980. He commenced work there on 1 January 1948. The Gardens had greatly deteriorated during the Depression and Second World War. The Garden was little better than a public park and he threw himself into bringing it back to the position he felt it should have.
