Interesting account of botany and people who made it all happen
By markr
Although not really a gardner myself, I enjoyed this account of how botany and gardening flourished during the Enlightenment. As interest in all things scientific grew plants were transported around the world to become features of new landscaping and gardens, particularly in England. This book is the story of how that happened and has quite a case of characters - Joseph Banks who was on the first Captain Cook expedition which found Botany Bay, and tracked the transit of Venus from Tahiti- Captain Bligh, whose mission to transplant breadfruit trees ended in mutiny - although he succeeded superbly later and Erasmus Darwin, grandfather of the more famous Charles.There is also interesting account of the work by the Swedish Botanist Carl Linnaeus to classify and name plants, and of the opposition encountered. All fascinating and informative stuff - I had no idea so many of the plants we see everyday in England started as native species somewhere else and were deliberately brought to the shores.

A curious history of why the British have such an abundance of plant species and varieties in their midst: for the curious!
By Amazon Customer
This book is very well researched and insightful in explaining why the United Kingdom has so many plant species and varieties in its countless domestic, civic and stately home gardens. The book is superb at linking the growing, nascent British Empire with tastes in gardening and plant-hunting. I think that what is still a mystery, is where that deep desire in the British to promote matters gardening to such a high degree comes from? The book certainly explains the mechanisms by which that desire was fed. A fascinating aspect of human history and a good read for the curious, but humble gardener.

History of early Botany - written in the traditional style.
By Prospero77
I had this bought for me last Christmas and I must admit feel a bit sheepish having only just read it. In short, it is the history of the early British botanists from the 1700s and the accompanying revolution in plant cultivation, horticulture and general botanical discovery. One of those subject areas that always fascinates but is hardly touched upon by history curricula in school or college. I particularly enjoyed the written style of Andrea Wulf's text. It was reminiscent of Arthur Bryant's 'Set in a Silver Sea'. That is to say, history written as an Arts subject rather than a political or social science, which it so often is these days. A lively, rich and entertaining narrative that produces a truly interesting book on our national craze.
