“Lest you fear the book is set in staid drawing rooms filled with rattling tea cups and powdered wigs, the text is peppered with tales of English playboys on high seas plant adventures, Tahitian orgies, and glimpses into Benjamin Franklin’s passion for horticulture”

“This book is an important contribution to our horticultural heritage”

Review The Brother Gardeners, Paperback Row, New York Times, March 2010

"Britain’s love affair with the garden is presented through two stories: that of the 40-year relationship between an 18th-century London merchant with a passion for gardening and his horticultural supplier in Philadelphia, and that of a British naturalist who traveled the world collecting plants. Wulf has written “a delightful book — and you don’t need to be a gardener to enjoy it,” our reviewer, Miranda Seymour, said."
