The Latest Export From China - Garden Plants
“Western explorers to China's remote regions form a pantheon of horticultural Indiana Joneses.”
So writes Andrew Higgins in a July 14, 2005 Washington Post article entitled “The Latest Export From China - Garden Plants” (registration required). The subject of the article is a review of UBC Botanical Garden's recently-released book, “The Jade Garden”. Written by three of UBC Botanical Garden's experienced horticulturists, the book illustrates one hundred and fifty little-known, ornamental trees, shrubs, and perennials from Asia that ought to receive a more-prominent place in today's gardens.
The Jade Garden is available from the Shop in the Garden and other fine bookstores.
