FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH
Passionate plant collectors remembered in a Cornish garden
by Christian Lamb
What risks did the early plant collectors take to bring us the plants we know and love. Who found what and where? And how similar are their finds to the plants we grow today. Author Christian Lamb has been to extraordinary lengths to find out. This is also the story of her unusual garden that incorporates many of those plants.
“True character, very funny and idiosyncratic” Sir Roy Strong
“Christian Lamb emulates the great plant hunters in her endeavours to find and grow unusual plants” Dr John Akeroyd
