A fascinating history of Britain's plant biodiversity & a unique account of how our garden landscape has been transformed over 1000 years, from 200 species of plant in the year 1000 to the astonishing variety of plants we can all see today. Thousands of plants have been introduced into Britain since 1066 by travellers, warriors, explorers & plant hunters
- plants that we now take for granted such as rhododendron from the Far East, gladiolus from Africa & exotic plants like the monkey puzzle tree from Chile.

Both a plant history & a useful reference book, Maggie Campbell-Culver has researched the provenance & often strange histories of many of the thousands of plants, exploring the quirky & sometimes rude nature of the plants, giving them a personality all of their own & setting them in their social context.

The text is supported by beautiful contemporary paintings & modern photographs in 2 x 8 pp colour sections.
