I am currently reading a fabulous book by Andrea Wulf titled “The Brother Gardeners Botany, Empire and The Birth of an
Obsession". It is a splendid book
“bringing to life the science and adventure of the eighteenth-century plant
collecting” with names such as Tradescent, Bartram, Banks, Sloan, Linnaeus and
Darwin. Thank you Jeanette for placing
this wonderful book in our library.
Here is a link where you can learn more about Mr. Bartram, known as the colonial botanist, who is responsible for stocking England’s nurseries with American trees.
