Robert Champion
Robert Champion is the founder of TARN and a casual academic at the University of Technology Sydney. His love of plants developed early at two diametrically opposed locations: his grandparents’ park-like orchard, and a hut on a wind-beaten bluff within rugged New Zealand bush. He seeks to harmonise the emotional with the analytical.
