Description
Cherry Ingram's remarkable story is one of endeavour and determination. In 1926, he witnessed alarming changes to Japan's cherry blossoms and took action to protect their diversity. With the help of a network of 'cherry guardians', Ingram sent rare varieties from his English garden back to Japan. This book tells the tale of an extraordinary man whose legacy is celebrated every spring. It is an eloquent portrait of Cherry Ingram, whose efforts have had a lasting impact on botanic history. A fascinating account of one man's dedication to preserving the beauty of nature, this biography sheds light on a remarkable chapter in Japanese history.
