Book description
Nina Crone was principle of Melbourne Girls Grammar School from 1975 to 1994. Between 1982 and 1997, using the nom de plume Alison Dalrymple, she penned numerous articles on plants and gardens, and their histories, that were published in the pages of The Age newspaper. The complete collection of articles, and previously unpublished writings, have been brought together in this beautifully illustrated book.
Entrancing stories and factual accounts of how botanical specimens touch lives, alter human destiny, and provide spiritual nourishment are told with intelligence and panache. Based on her own travels, Nina also transports the reader around the globe to magnificent public gardens with diverse botanical landscape.
