'A real find.... and a must read for all who enjoy good writing.' -
J. Barry Humour, wit, passion, science - not a dull page in the
whole book. He makes gardening sexy - Richard Kirby, BBC Natural
History Unit cameraman/director. 'I blame it on Abies magnifica, '
says the author of his decision to leave New Zealand and travel the
world, working as a gardener. Seeking out the trees, plants,
gardens and arboreta he knew previously only from textbooks,
Michael Scott describes the flora - and people - he meets with a
unique, incisive and clever style. Introduction by 'Botanic Man'
Prof David Bellamy: 'This is the most unusual gardening book I have
ever read; really a biography of botanist Michael Scott who was
born in NZ. Contains many good tips (and trips) to further one's
knowledge of gardening. An easy read, very slick and full of
interest for all who love gardening and/or see this as a good way
to pay one's way around the earth. Reminds us that Earth is more
valuable than gold. D.B. Christmas 2013
