Product Description

The Royal Horticultural Society Diary 2006 is illustrated with the work of three leading 19th-century botanical artists--John Curtis, Sydenham Teast Edwards and James Sowerby--who made prolific contributions to William Curtis' Botanical Magazine. This periodical was founded in 1787 and has been in continuous publication to this day.

Each week features a full-page colour illustration, and the diary includes the dates of all the RHS Flower Shows as well as national and religious holidays and astronomical information. The design is generously laid out with plenty of room to write.
