I AM an amateur writer researching the famous James Backhouse Nursery of York.
I am interested to hear from anyone who has stories to tell about the nursery or the men who worked there. I am particularly interested in the 1880 period when gardeners were sent to other parts of the country to work on Alpine rockery projects. My phone number is 020 8586 6123 or I can be contacted at the address below.
