From author Fiona Davison, The Hidden Horticulturists is about the forgotten gardeners who studied at the Royal Horticultural Society's garden at Chiswick, West London. Among them was Joseph Paxton, who would go on to become one of Britain's top gardeners and architects.
The journey Davison takes the reader on is one of fraud and scandal, as well as a discovery of some incredible plants and gardens. These forgotten gardeners have influenced how the modern world grows gardens, and their impact is finally being shared in this brilliant read.Â
