Aprašymas

Advolly Richmond, presenter on the popular TV series Gardener's World, unravels the surprising histories of 60 flowers that shape our gardens.

Have you ever wondered where your favourite garden flowers came from? Where their names derived? Or why some cultivars go in and out of favour? Every flower in your herbaceous border has a story, and in this book the author takes you on a tour of the most intriguing, surprising and enriching ones.

From the agapanthus, which was brought to Britain by William of Orange, to the pansy's connection to the underground world of 1930s drag queens - Advolly brings alive the people who discovered and cultivated some of our favourite species, and shares the juicy tales that made some flowers so well known.

With intricate artworks from botanical illustrator Sarah Jane Humphrey this is a beautiful gift for every garden lover.
