The Brother Gardeners: Botany, Empire and the Birth of an Obsession

Customer Reviews

An utterly charming and surprising birthday present from my daughter - By: Marcus Lichtenstein, 08 Apr 2008
Happy 63rd birthday to me! My daughter gave me this book on saturday knowing I am obsesed with gardening & spend alll my time, according to her, up to me elbows in manure (manure is a polite version of the word she actuallly used!). I am not generallly a great fan of history - probably becaue of school, ie give me a nursery plantlist every time - but I loved this book. Amazing to find out that so many of the plants I grow (and sweat so much blood over) aren't British. Full of great nuggets, so thank you Marianne.
