The Hidden Horticulturists: The Untold Story of the Men Who Shaped Britain's Gardens
by Davison, Fiona       
(Paperback - English - 9781786495082)
The untold story of the remarkable young men who played a central role in the history of British horticulture In 2012, while working at the Royal Horticultural Society's library, Fiona Davison unearthed a book of handwritten notes that dated back to 1822. The notes, each carefully set out in neat copperplate writing, had been written by young gardeners in support of their application to be received into the Society's Garden. Among them was an entry from the young Joseph Paxton, who would go on to become one of Britain's best-known gardeners and architects. But he was far from alone, and now, for the first time, the stories of the young, working-class men w ..

A career spent traveling the world looking at gardens, and meeting their sometimes eccentric custodians, has resulted in a fund of unlikely experiences and encounters.
