In a book of this kind the author must owe thanks to many individuals and to many sources. It is a compilation of fact, and fact has to be collected from here, there and everywhere. The author may, and in this case does, interpose his facts with a certain amount of explanation and a little criticism, in order that the average gardener can understand what in a more scientific work would only be of value to the specialist. But in every case the presentation of facts is the primary object.
Lidt interessant er det at bogen er skrevet af Euan Cox, grundlæggeren af Glendoick. På titelbladet står ” To Susan and Peter”. Peter Cox, døde i 2025. Peter Cox er far til Kenneth Cox, nuværende ejer af Glendoick Garden.
Euan Cox fortæller i bogen hele begyndelsen på Kina eventyret og de første plantejægere.
