This volume tells the story of Scotland's national Botanic Garden, from its founding in 1670 as a small Physic Garden in the shadow of Holyrood Palace to its status today as one of the world's greatest botanical institutions. In addition to providing a glimpse of the vital scientific research undertaken there, Deni Bown guides the reader season by season around each of the four gardens that comprise the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

Originally published in 1988 as the first truly comprehensive review of one of the largest and most popular plant families, Aroids was enthusiastically welcomed by botanists and horticulturists alike for its attention to scientific detail and delightful writing style. Now in this completely updated second edition, we learn of discoveries made in the last decade as the family has grown from about 2500 species to nearer 3200. The latest taxonomic and nomenclatural revisions are noted in the checklist of genera, and all the original drawings are included plus twice as many color photos. A new guide to the cultivation of ornamental aroids completes this well-rounded introduction to a remarkable family.

The front flap includes an ingenious pull chart providing at-a-glance information on soil, site and cultivation requirements for every herb. "Growing Herbs", the first in this new collection of practical, photographic guides to herbs, features a cultivation pull chart and gives an introduction to ornamental herb gardens, with details on a variety of historical styles and how these can be adapted to modern gardens. It includes details on decorative herbs, the most attractive herbs for mixed borders, patios and containers, concentrating on varieties that have particularly good garden form, giving maximum colour and interest in terms of habit, foliage, flowers and fruits.
