Sobre este artículo
Boethius Press, 1987. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Near Fine. The brightest jewel a history of the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, Dublin E. Charles Nelson / Eileen M. McCracken. Illustrated by Wendy F. Walsh. In near fine condition, no dust jacket, very rare and sought after in its hardback form. Boethius Press 1987 Black cloth hardcover, Quarto 275 pp. Development of the Dublin National Gardens emphasises the difference between European Botanic Gardens and those which developed in the British colonies in the 19th century. The science of Botany and the skill of the gardener go hand in hand but in Glasnevin this culminates in the Garden becoming the home for Ireland's National Herbarium which houses a most important assemblage of native flowering plants, gymnosperms, and cryptograms, as well as extensive collections of specimens from Great Britain and all round the world. In Glasnevin the entire running of the garden reflects this scientific background and expertise of their staff but even so the skill of the gardener is not forgotten and the public can still admire colourful bedding displays and well presented plant collections. Glasnevin functions both as a research centre and a teaching garden." Royal New Zealand Institute of Horticulture
