'Scotland for Gardeners and plant lovers'

An entry for The Delphinium Society Scottish Group is to be included in a new book entitled 'Scotland for Gardeners and Plant Lovers' which will be published in 2009.

The Author states that the book will include colour photography throughout with an A - Z of over 500 gardens, garden centres, walks, etc. There will be a list of garden shows and specialist societies together with a brief history of gardening in Scotland, maps and 'Best of' lists.

He further states that the book is a compact colour guide to all that Scotland has to offer gardeners and garden lovers including surveys and reviews of virtually all Scotland's gardens which are open to the public, recommending when to visit and what to look out for, as well as specialist nurseries, garden centres, wild flowers, walks, shows, public parks, etc, etc.

Images are by Ray Cox, the photographer of Suki Urquhart's 'The Scottish Gardener', the ideal book for the Scot or the tourist who wishes to explore the world of gardens and plants in Scotland.

The Author is Kenneth Cox, son and grandson of renowned plantsmen. He is a nurseryman, gardener and garden centre owner at Glendoick, near Perth, Scotland, a garden world famous for rhododendrons. He has been an expedition leader to unexplored parts of Tibet and India, in the process of which he has introduced several new rhododendron species. He is also a successful rhododendron/azalea hybridist and has written several books on rhododendrons and plant history. His book 'Garden Plants for Scotland' is being published in 2008.

The foregoing introduction to the book is based on the author's description and is not the Society's description.
