O'Brien's passion is evident on every page."-- "Times (UK)" "This very readable account has Hooker's own writings set against O'Brien's story of adventures and botanical discoveries, all enhanced by modern photographs."-- "The Irish Garden"
Seamus OBrien is Irelands best-known plantsman and has travelled extensively across the world to study plants in their native habitats. He received his horticultural training at the National Botanic Gardens, Glasnevin, in Dublin, and also holds an International Diploma in Botanic Gardens Management from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. He has grown plants since childhood and has wide-ranging interests, though plants from warm-temperate and temperate areas of the world are his primary focus. He manages the National Botanic Gardens, Kilmacurragh, in County Wicklow, an eighteenth century estate long famed for its historic collection of rare and exotic plants.
