A century of Kew plantsmen: a celebration of the Kew Guild - Hardcover
The annual volumes of the Journal of the Kew Guild, published since 1893, have provided much of the material for this account of Kew Gardens. It includes reminiscences of colleagues and working conditions by gardeners who worked under the directorship of Sir William and Sir Joseph Hooker and Sir William Thiselton-Dyer; the experiences of Kewites serving in the outposts of the British Empire and on plant hunting expeditions; interesting and amusing events in the domestic life of Kew; the development of educational facilities for student gardeners; and the history of the Kew Guild itself. The inclusion of brief biographies of some 50 distinguished botanists, horticulturists and botanical artists also gives this book a permanent value as a work of reference.
