Review Quotes
Town & Country
“A fitting tribute to the extraordinary legacy of this 86-year-old botanist and collector, who has spent three decades amassing more than 1,000 works of contemporary horticultural art from around the world. . . . (A) book that celebrates the marriage of art with science.”
Association of British Botanical Artists
"This knowledgeable and comprehensive work spans thirty years of enthusiastic collecting by Dr. Sherwood, a trained botanist. The coverage of both the media used and compositional ideas is excellent. The images are crisp and the legends clear.... This is truly a unique collection."
