Description
Book SynopsisTrade Review"[Bradshaw] is inspiring a new generation of botanists." * BBC North East & Cumbria *
"[Bradshaw] is a force of nature. . . . She has collected all of her wisdom, learned from botanists across the centuries and gleaned from her own 75 years of walking the fell . . . . The book is quite literally her life’s work."
---Chris Lloyd, Northern Echo"Some of the plants can’t be found anywhere else in the UK and – until Bradshaw arrived on the scene – many were unaccounted for. Bradshaw is the chief caretaker of some of the country’s rarest flowers. She has spent seven decades obsessively studying the unique arctic-alpine flora of Teesdale."
---Phoebe Weston, The Guardian"An ideal book to add value to your visit to [Teesdale]."
---John Miles, BirdWatching Magazine"[Bradshaw’s] vast knowledge of the more than two dozen rare upper dale flora has been captured in her book."
---Martin Paul, Teesdale Mercury"By far the most comprehensive account available."
---David J Tennant, Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland"The descriptions of the plants are beautifully written, bringing their story to life and providing the reader with all the essential information. I have no doubt that this will become an essential guide for anyone wishing to visit Teesdale and admire the unique botanical heritage of the area.." * Plantlife *
"[Bradshaw is] something of a legend among botanists."
---Emily Rickerby, Living North Magazine"This is a very special book. Not only is it a compendium of the diverse and wondrous flora of Teesdale, its pages are permeated with the deep love, devotion and dedication of one individual to a uniquely beautiful, biologically diverse place."
---David M. Gascoigne, Travels with Birds
