I purchased this book after visiting the garden this past October and I find the book to be incredibly well written and interesting. It is fully illustrated and tells you about different poisonous plants that grow local to England and across the globe from A-to-Z as well as giving you a full history of the castle, gardens and grounds and programs. This is a great souvenir and beautiful addition to my home library.
