Americas Greatest Garden is a comprehensive and appreciative study of the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University, one of the world's foremost centers for botanical research and display. Authored by the acclaimed plant explorer E.H. Wilson, this volume serves as an essential guide to the history, design, and botanical treasures of this iconic landscape. Wilson, renowned for his extensive travels in East Asia, brings his profound expertise to describing the arboretum's vast collection of trees, shrubs, and vines.
