Ten chapters tell the story of the Rothschild family and horticulture at Exbury: of Lionel's life, the intrepid plant hunters he sponsored and the impact the plants had on gardens in the UK and Ireland. It details the life of Exbury itself before the arrival of Lionel and his family, the war years and into the second century of its growth. The book describes the fascinating collections of rare plants, shrubs and trees still on show today, from jewel-like Nerine sarniensis to autumn-interest nyssas and oxydendrum, as well as the famed rhododendrons, azaleas, magnolias and camellias.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLionel de Rothschild\u003c\/b\u003e is chair of the Exbury Gardens Trust and a trustee of the Rothschild Archive.
