Description

John Parkinson inspired Anna Parkinson from an early age. Who was this man who wrote so engagingly about plants? Was he a relation, as her father believed? And why was so little known about a man who was a key influence on the flowering of English garden in the 17th century? Intrigued, she set out to find the answers.
