The contribution of diplomatic, military, and naval exploits in the formation of the British Empire are well recorded, but far less well-known are those of botanic gardens which, in their own unsung way, helped to underpin the Empire’s commercial success and were also instrumental in furthering botanical knowledge around the world.
Christian Lamb, distinguished plantswoman and garden historian, writes in her introduction "It so happens that I 'collect' botanic gardens . . . this book is a nebulous collection of a few chosen botanic gardens from the vast array availablethe stars in their spheres . . . and the remarkable array of the often learned and entrepreneurial characters that created them."
