Another Green World - Linn Botanic Gardens: Encounters with a Scottish Arcadia Alison Turnbull

Marc Notes: Linn Botanic Gardens is a place like no other: a special, magical, idiosyncratic utopia created by the shared passion of a reclusive father and son. Situated beside a Scottish loch, and close to a nuclear naval base, Linn is a horticultural treasure trove that is home to thousands of exotic plants brought from all over the world. Nowhere on Earth do such rare and diverse species grow together except at this unlikely setting in western Scotland. This book is a lyrical portrait of this enchanted and enchanting place in words and pictures.
