Description
A comprehensive account of the history, accession, care and maintainance of RBGE's living plant collection across its four Gardens. Here, David Rae offers a new way of seeing the extraordinary diversity of plants cultivated outside or under glass, but he is careful not to take the metaphor too far. The Director of Horticulture at RBGE also guides the reader behind the scenes to reveal the skilled work involved in caring for a world-famous collection and then explains exactly why it matters.
