From the bestselling author of The Invention of Nature, a fascinating look at the men who made Britain teh center of the botanical world.

Bringing to life the science and adventure of eighteenth-century plant collecting, The Brother Gardeners is the story of how six men created the modern garden and changed the horticultural world in the process. It is a story of a garden revolution that began in America.

In 1733, colonial farmer John Bartram shipped two boxes of precious American plants and seeds to Peter Collinson in London. Around these men formed the nucleus of a botany movement, which included famous Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus; Philip Miller, bestselling author of The Gardeners Dictionary; and Joseph Banks and David Solander, two botanist explorers, who scoured the globe for plant life aboard Captain Cook's Endeavor. As they cultivated exotic blooms from around the world, they helped make Britain an epicenter of horticultural and botanical expertise. The Brother Gardeners paints a vivid portrait of an emerging world of knowledge and gardening as we know it today.

ZERO regrets purchasing this gorgeous screen!!
Color: Mountains and Waters, Size: 6 Panel, Color: Mountains and Waters, Size: 6 Panel
I am just really blown away by how gorgeous this screen is and I could not be happier with it. It's lighter weight, but still substantial and the print and colors are just exquisite. I would buy this again 10 times over. I can't even believe it just over $200 for a 6 panel screen of this quality and beauty. WELL worth it and the best deal you will see out there for something like this. The screws and the way they work took a little bit of a learning curve, but once I realized what each controlled, it was smooth sailing. The screen arrives fully assembled, but you just need to tighten and loosen is some areas to accommodate your needs for its position and the floor it's standing on. Nothing too complicated at all, just a few tweaks here and there
