'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 enlightening style. Introduction by 'Botanic Man' Professor David Bellamy: 'This is the best gardening book I have ever read and it is surely the most entertaining work that has ever been written on the subject. It contains a wealth of information which will further the reader's knowledge of gardening - but it is the way it is told that is so delightful, descriptive, hilarious and unique. This is a book that should be read by everyone at least once in their lives. D.B.
