Gardens through Time explores the history of garden design through the story of the Royal Horticultural Society. This history has rarely been tranquil. Architects and horticulturalists have come to blows over garden design. Plant hunters in the 19th century scoured the world, risking their lives in the race for exotic specimens.
The book is published to coincide with the bicentenary of the Royal Horticultural Society and ties into a BBC TV series.
