Description
Because the authors have been to the hotspots, each chapter opens with their personal reflections on the landscape and spirit of place, and closes with their selection of prime locations. In between, the informative yet approachable text tells of the plants’ ‘forgotten stories’. Of the landscapes which are their home, the adventures of how and when they were discovered and by whom, the reasons why they were collected, their impact on garden fashions and trends, etc.
Wild Edens brings another dimension of interest and understanding to plants and gardens, as well as being a premium armchair traveller’s guide to the natural world of garden plants.
