Description
Book SynopsisCelebrated plantsman Roy Lancaster's chance find of a Mexican tobacco plant in a local allotment sowed the seeds of his future career. In this, the story of his life with plants, we hear about his experiences at home and abroad and the plants, insects, birds and people he met along the way.
Trade ReviewThis attractive book, its cover a representational explosion of scarlet flowers
against hinted-at distant mountains, is aptly energetic in style.
