The Ghost In The Garden: in search of Darwins lost garden

English

By (author): Jude Piesse

The forgotten garden that inspired Charles Darwin becomes the modern-day setting for an exploration of memory, family, and the legacy of genius.

Darwins childhood garden at The Mount in Shrewsbury was the site of some of the great scientists earliest experiments. It was where, under the tutelage of his green-fingered mother and sisters, and the houses knowledgeable gardeners, he first examined the reproductive life of flowers, collected birds eggs, and began to note down the ideas that would lead to his groundbreaking theory of evolution.

In The Ghost in the Garden, Jude Piesse uncovers the lost histories that inspired Darwins work and how his legacy, and the legacies of those around him, live on today.
