John Weathers

Has anyone got any information on the author John Weathers, date/place of birth, work, family, where buried etc., who has written several gardening books including "My Garden Book", "20th Century Gardening", "Beautiful Roses" among others.

My son is doing a project for school on Gardening Authors and has chosen John Weathers.

He (and I) would be greatful for any details.

Thanks Leucojum

 

There seems to be no info on this author on the web, it may be an idea to buy one of his books as they usually have info on their authors. Here is a link you may find helpful:

Leucojum,
Like terrier i can't find anything on John Weathers the gardener. Don't mean to be rude but are you sure on the name? When i googled 'my garden book' it came back with the author 'Jamaica Kincaid'. There was a John Brooke.

Got me puzzled now:? Do let me know if it definately is John Weathers. Where did yuour son get the name from? Good luck.

cheers

 

It's definitely John Weathers, my son bought the book "My Garden Book" for few pence so the name is right. There is no information at all about the author. Same here my son anf I have searched the web for about a week now and found absolutley nothing. Thanks Leucojum

 

Just make something up, If he died years ago then no one will be the wiser!!!!!

 

Except of course the person telling the lie Paul. (They just may have a morality.)

Yup, we got morals - still looking - found John Weathers was assistant secretary to the RHS London late 1800's early 1900's - but can't find anything else - yet. Regards Leucojum
