Sclater, A. (ed.)

The National Botanic Garden of Wales

Harper Collins, 2000.1st edition.Hard covers, dust jacket.ISBN: 0004140915.Fine/Fine.Scarcely used.Described in the blurb as ""the first botanic garden to be created in the UK in over two hundred years"" (a sweeping and inaccurate statement; maybe true for Wales, though Bodnant has good cause to claim botanic garden status).Sadly, despite a promising start, this pioneering millennium project ran into difficulties due to problems meeting its running costs; but it is still well worth a visit.
