Lionel Gilbert’s hardback, The Royal Botanic Gardens Sydney A History 1816-1985, charts the lush 170-year evolution of Australia’s oldest scientific garden. Oxford University Press released this authoritative 210-page reference in 1986, pairing Gilbert’s meticulous research with generous illustrations that bring historic plans and rare plants to life.

Collectors and gardening enthusiasts will appreciate the crisp, unmarked pages, tight binding, and intact dust jacket—no smoke, no notes, no dog-ears. The volume arrives from a smoke-free home, ready to slip straight onto a botanical or Australian-history shelf.

Ideal for young adults, adults, landscapers, or anyone passionate about Australian horticulture, this illustrated history doubles as a reliable research tool and an elegant coffee-table book. Searchers looking for Sydney heritage, garden design, or biographies of true stories rooted in living collections will find this copy a well-preserved gem.
