A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Graham Stuart Thomas (1909-2003) is revered as one of the greatest gardeners of the 20th century. His 'unrivalled plantsmanship' brought him the highest horticultural honours and as Gardens Adviser to the National Trust he was directly responsible for the conservation and restoration of many of the finest gardens in England. Thomas was probably best known for his work in gathering and popularizing old and new shrub roses. In addition to having an encyclopaedic knowledge of horticulture, Thomas was an artist whose paintings and drawings illustrate many of his books. As well as working in colour he did many drawings in pencil and pen and ink. He was awarded an OBE and is one of 63 holders of the Victoria Medal of Honour. The RHS awarded him the Veitch Memorial Medal as well as their Gold Medal for his paintings and drawings. Thomas is judged as one of the world's outstanding gardeners, here we have the opportunity to enjoy his contribution to botanical painting. Illustrated in colour throughout with a stepped tab index.
