Synopsis
Excerpt from Botanic Gardens and Domains, (Report On, for the Year 1901)
Another advantage has been that the height of the railing precludes persons from scaling the Garden fence, which formerly was not a rare occurrence; fewer thefts of plants are one result of this.
This improvement has opened the way for others. The railing having enclosed a portion of the Domain, opportunity will be given of remodelling of the Garden in the vicinity of the new entrance, and of introducing a number of improvements hereabouts, the neighbourhood of Victoria Lodge having a. Somewhat neglected appearance. Here we are at once confronted with the financial question, but. I shall be very disappointed if I cannot report next year that some of the remodelling has been put in hand.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronicles the prolific advancements of the Royal Botanic Garden, Sydney, in the late 19th century. Following the appointment of Charles Moore as director in 1848, the garden was transformed, with new plant species sourced from across the globe. This book discusses this transformation in the context of 19th-century attitudes towards nature, exploration, and the dissemination of knowledge. It also sheds light on the development of the garden as a scientific institution and its role in shaping the way Australians view plants and the environment. From the establishment of Australia's rst national herbarium to the introduction of an array of non-native species that became iconic symbols of Sydney, the book traces the history of the garden and its enduring contribution to the cultural and botanical history of Australia. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781334904066_0
