Product Overview
In this lavishly illustrated centennial tribute to the Arboretum, Susan Davis Price and John Gregor invite the reader to join them in a celebration of Minnesota’s horticultural year: dramatic snow-shapes, the subtle hues of early spring, masses of tulips and daffodils, the deep yellows and oranges of August, and the apple harvest, with its hardy ‘Wealthies’ and ‘Haralsons’ and wildly popular ‘Honey Crisps.’
This splendid volume is an ode to human ingenuity and determination. Based on a wealth of original sources, historic photos, and interviews, it documents for the first time the Minnesota Arboretum’s evolution from a hopeful experiment into a northern treasure.
This is a lovely, large book with full color photographs of the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and Horticultural Research Center. A real treasure, this book is a love letter to the people who have worked to create this astonishing public space since it's beginning. There is a lovely insert of vellum pressed with leaves and flower petals in the front. This book appears new, but the dust jacket has more shelf wear than I would consider "as new" so I'm calling it "very good". No interior marks, other than the author's signature. Pages are very clean and the dust jacket is in very good condition.
