Botanical Garden; Huntington Botanical Gardens (Los Angeles); and the United States Botanic Garden (Washington, DC).
From the Forward: “While it is impossible to include all of the world’s botanic
gardens in one volume, the gardens profiled are among the most noteworthy, and were chosen for their special
contribution to the past and present of these most important institutions.”
From the back cover: “Some of the world’s foremost botanists, scientists,
artists and thinkers give a detailed account of the history and future of the botanical gardens in four essays on the
subject interspersed with profiles of the most important botanic gardens from around the world.”
We are very excited about being included in this prestigious work. Copies will be available for
