Celebrated plantsman Roy Lancaster's birth on 5th December 1937 was
the start of something big for plants and horticulture. His chance
find of a Mexican tobacco plant in a local allotment brought him
fame as a Bolton schoolboy and sowed the seeds of his future
career. This book is the story of his adventures as he sees
tropical plants for the first time in the jungles of Malaya, meets
Roberto Burle Marx at his garden near Rio de Janeiro, and hunts for
pitcher plants in North America. Well-known for his encylopedic
botanical knowledge and for introducing many popular garden plants,
Roy is also a consummate story-teller and wise philosopher. His
acute sense of life's comic moments, spirited sense of adventure
and respect for the natural world make this a remarkable read.

guide to one of Europe's largest and most ambitious gardening
projects, the magnificent RHS Bridgewater. RHS Garden Bridgewater
has a rich history, deeply entrenched personal connections with the

which is brought to life in this sumptuous book. Set on the site of
the former Worsley New Hall stately home in Manchester, bordering
the Bridgewater canal, the Bridgewater garden is one of the most
exciting public garden projects undertaken anywhere in the world in
recent years. Guided by a masterplan from the renowned landscape
architect Tom Stuart-Smith, it is a showpiece of horticultural
excellence with a rich array of attractions, from walled gardens
and Chinese streamside features to aromatic kitchen gardens and
verdant wooded areas, all placed at the heart of the community. RHS
Garden Bridgewater charts the glory years of royal visits to the
site, the decline and fall into disrepair and the subsequent
restoration and development of the gardens into what they are
today. Chronicling personal memories from the people who shaped the
gardens, the book is beautifully illustrated and provides a
complete insight into how a garden was and will once again become
an integral and inspirational part of the community.
