'The Trees of Westonbirt' is a 1933 work by English naturalist and author Marcus Woodward. Within it, Woodward takes a detailed look at the various trees that could be found at the Westonbirt, The National Arboretum, Gloucestershire, England in the early 20th century. With wonderful descriptions, historical information, and authentic photographs, this guide to one of England’s most important and famous arboretums is not to be missed by naturalists and gardeners with an interest in the trees of the British Isles. Contents include: 'Foreword', 'At the Gates', 'In the Park', 'Trees of the Lawns', 'Italian and Sunken Gardens', 'Trees of the Terrace', 'New Ground', 'Index', and 'Biographical Note'. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction.
