Mark Griffiths is one of Britain's leading plant experts. I know this because his brief biog in the front of The Lotus Quest tells me so; just as it tells me that he is the editor of The New Royal Horticultural Society Dictionary of Gardening ''the largest work on horticulture ever published''. His prior works list includes five other plant book credits, three of them for the RHS. I shall take all of this on trust, since attempts to find out more about the author and his background through the usual internet search mechanisms has failed miserably. He remains as elusive as the sacred flower that is the subject of this latest work: the lotus.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to The Bookbag.
Further reading suggestion: for further insights into Japanese culture try [[apan Japan Through The Looking Glass by Alan Macfarlane]] – or for a much more up-to-date look at the use of garden planting try [[On Guerrilla Gardening: A Handbook for Gardening Without Boundaries by Richard Reynolds]].
