In Botanical Time: The Extraordinary Lifespans of the World’s Oldest Living Plants

Praise for Christopher Woods: "To be passionate about gardens but have wanderlust seems like a curse of mythical proportion. It might turn you into a plant explorer, a landscape photographer or, if you are Christopher Woods, into a horticultural sojourner and writer.” —The Washington Post “Whether you are a garden globetrotter or an armchair explorer, this book is definitely one to add to your collection.” —Gardens Illustrated “Woods’s broad outlook is refreshing. . . . Descriptive essays that discuss thoughtfully, cogently, and often humorously the recurring themes. . . . Highly recommended for anyone interested in modern gardens, garden design, or garden travel.” —Library Journal “Author Chris Woods worked in top British gardens before moving to the States, where he transformed Chanticleer, and in his safe hands we are transported to these special places to discover what makes them notable. . . . His enthusiasm and warmth carry the reader along and make this the perfect gift for people who love real or armchair garden visiting, at home and abroad.” —The Telegraph “Woods is uniquely qualified to write a book of such a daunting global scope . . . a long love letter to the planet and its people” —Mother Nature Network “Most if not all will feel the tug of wanderlust and the gardenlust to explore many of these new and beautiful landscapes.” —NYBG's Plant Talk
