Description
Follows the lives of six men (Joseph Banks, John Bartram, Peter Collinson, Carl Linneaus, Philip Miller and Daniel Solander) who shared a passion for plants and a love of gardening in eighteenth-century London, who made Britain the epicenter of horticulture, and transformed gardening from an aristocratic pastime to a national obsession.
