In yet another line of research, this one involving different orders of life, Mr. Hubbard conducts horticultural experiments in greenhouses at Saint Hill which bring about major increases in plant growth. His discoveries are reported in horticultural magazines internationally and receive wide coverage in daily newspapers.

In all he gives 128 lectures this year and writes two books.
