How the Garden Grew

About
"Founded as a physic garden in 1670, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh (RBGE) moved to its present site at Inverleith in 1820. Since then the Garden has expanded, developed and changed through the years. This book of photographs from the RBGE Archives contains over one hundred beautiful black and white images showing the Edinbugh Garden through the ages and the horticultural staff who worked in it. From our earliest archived photograph to the major restructuring of the Glasshouses in the 1960s, these pictures tell the story of the Garden and the people who helped it to grow"--
