Royal Horticultural Society Treasury of Verse

From the Royal Horticultural Society comes a fascinating compendium of poetry about gardens and garden plants, themes that have provided inspiration for poets since the dawn of time. The poems span many centuries and include the work of such great writers as William Wordsworth, Edmund Spenser and William Shakespeare as well as others who may be lesser known. Each poem is illustrated with a botanical print from the Royal Horticultural Society's Lindley Library, one of the richest sources of plant illustrations in the world. Poets featured include: Sylvia Plath, Christina Rossetti, D.H. Lawrence, John Milton, John Keats, William Wordsworth, William Blake, and William Shakespeare.
