More DescriptionThis volume commemorates the golden anniversary of the Highlands Botanical Garden and celebrates both the plants and the people associated with this Highlands, North Carolina treasure. Featuring the photographs of Ralph M. Sargent (1904-1985), a founder and ardent champion of the Highlands Botanical Garden, Highlands Botanical Garden: A Naturalist’s Guide is the first-ever guide to the garden, with maps, historical overview, and profiles of a generous selection of its hundreds of native plants. Not so much identification guide as botanical celebration, this volume introduces readers to little-known aspects of nearly 190 native southern Appalachian plants, from the back-story to their names to their ecology and natural history. This book is a must for the botanically curious.
