New book launched early

Thanks to outstanding work by our printer, the new book Sheffield Botanical Gardens: A Haven for Pleasure and Learning is now available. The book is a limited edition of 130 hardback copies with 160 pages and nearly 200 illustrations, most of which are in colour. Written by the historian for the Friends of the Botanical Gardens, Sheffield (FOBS), R. Alison Hunter, the book traces the story of the Gardens over 190 years up to present day. Currently available at FOBS meetings for £24.95 it is hoped to arrange a public outlet shortly, but once it’s gone - it’s gone!
