There is more to St Helena than an exiled emperor; the tiny island in the middle of the wild South Atlantic Ocean has a rich garden heritage and an extraordinarily diverse flora, both exotic and endemic.
•The first garden history of the remote island St Helena, in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean•St Helena became a plant resting place in the 18th century for trade fleets carrying plants and spices from the east on the way to Europe •As a result the island became a botanical hub and developed extraordinarily botanically diverse gardens•Fascinating addition to the literature on St Helena, away from military history, and based on primary research by the author •A botanical exploration and history of the island’s native and introduced flora•Illustrated throughout with stunning drawings, maps, and archival manuscript material
