The Plant Hunters
They traveled the wide
world, searching for new flowers, shrubs, and other botanical wonders to
bring back home--and only because of the courage and passion of daring
explorers can today's gardens boast of such a diverse array of plants. The
nine plant hunters--including Joseph Banks (1743-1820), Joseph Hooker
(1817-1911), and George Forrest (1873-1922)--featured in this handsomely
illustrated and adventure-filled volume dedicated themselves to expanding
our knowledge of botany and horticulture. From the shores of South
America, New Zealand, and Australia to the top of the Himalayas, these men
often risked their lives collecting tens of thousands of new species over
a period of two centuries--and every garden benefits from their legacy.
Ages 10 and up.
224 pages, 65 color illustrations.
