This volume collects 50 stories of gardening invention, innovation
and discovery. Among them is that of Thomas Hyl, who in 1577
devised the first water sprinkler; Nathaniel Ward who began a craze
for indoor gardening in 1829 with his terrarium case; and Henry
Telende, who in 1720 grew England's first pineapple. From the
invention of the trellis, flower pots and the waterscrew in the
ancient world; via secateurs, jute string and flame guns in the
Victorian age; to the Gro-Bag and Flymo of modern times, the
ingenious achievements make an inspiring international collection.
