The author tells the tale of Thomas Hanbury's extraordinary life and passion for
horticulture. He explains us, through a series of
letters and documents of the Hanbury family, how a young boy born in
Clapham, London, became able to create one of the most important
private collections of plants of his generation, what has today become
one of the most famous acclimatization botanic gardens in the world.
