The introduction of traditional Chinese garden plants to Britain 1698-1862. The Chinese had been skilfully cultivating their gardens for hundreds of years before anyone from the West had ever seen magnolias, camellias, hydrangeas, tree peonies, wisteria or even forsythia. This book describes the fascinating history of how these garden treasures came to Europe, and the people behind them.
