Noel and Virginia Jupp started Riverdene Nurseries in 1956. Sixty eight years on Noel is still an active plant propagator as well as a local treasure.
Celebrating Noel Jupp at 90
On Friday 26 July a lunch was held for Noel Jupp to thank him for his kind donation of a 10 year old grass tree (Xanthorrhoea johnsonii) to the arboretum to mark his 90th birthday. The arboretum volunteers also thanked him for a lifetime of learning and observation of our unique local flora which he so generously shares with all who ask. The list of newly discovered species and richly diverse cultivars attributed to Noel is extensive. We wish him many more years doing what he loves, but perhaps not on the tractor.
