  • The Reginald Farrer Collection
    Catalogue of the Reginald J. Farrer Collection at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh GB 235 RJF Title: The Reginald Farrer Collection Dates of Creation: 1880 – present Name of Creator: Reginald Farrer (1880-1920), Farrer family and Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, et al. Administrative / Biographical History: Reginald John Farrer, traveller, plant collector, plantsman and writer, was born on the 17th February, 1880 at 3 Spanish Place, London, the eldest of two boys born to James Anson Farrer (1849-1925) and Elizabeth Georgina Ann, nee Reynell-Pack. Farrer was born with a cleft palate and hare lip, the operation scars to correct this he later covered up with a thick moustache. Having to endure many childhood operations he was educated at home and also at Newnham Rectory. Spending much time by himself, Farrer enjoyed studying the flora in the hills surrounding his family’s Yorkshire estate, Ingleborough in Clapham, which his father inherited in 1889. At the age of fourteen, Farrer redesigned its alpine garden. In 1898 he attended Balliol College in Oxford, graduating in 1902. While there he helped H.J. Bidder construct the popular rock garden at St John’s College. Family holidays were often spent in Europe, but in 1903 Farrer went on his first long journey to Beijing / Peking, briefly visiting Korea before spending around 8 months in Japan. His first book, The Garden of Asia (1904) describes this stay. At this time, Farrer’s plant and gardening interests were overtaken by his ambition to become a novelist, poet and playwright. Unfortunately, most of this work was not well regarded and is now forgotten.

Riess in 1998 Copyright c 2000 by The Regents of the University of California Since 1954 the Regional Oral History Office has been interviewing leading participants in or well-placed witnesses to major events in the development of Northern California, the West, and the Nation. Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through tape-recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well- informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. The tape recording is transcribed, lightly edited for continuity and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewee. The corrected manuscript is indexed, bound with photographs and illustrative materials, and placed in The Bancroft Library at the University of California, Berkeley, and in other research collections for scholarly use. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is reflective, partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable . ************************************ All uses of this manuscript are covered by a legal agreement between The Regents of the University of California and W.

Plant Collector and War Correspondent v1.0; 16 July 2003; AG; e&oe http://www.ncbpt.org.uk/folly Page 1 of 6 Reginald Farrer 1880-1920 The Father of Rock Gardening When Reginald Farrer was born he was found to have a hare lip and cleft palate, the consequences of which were to shape his character and affect the pattern of his life. In childhood he underwent a series of corrective operations and was therefore educated at home. He grew to be a solitary man and the difficulties of his early life fostered in him a stoicism and single-mindedness that enabled him to endure the great hardships he encountered in his later journeys of exploration. As a child he developed a love of plants and his enthusiasms led to his later journeys in the mountains of Europe and Asia, his experiences vividly described in his writings. In his twenties, while on a visit to Ceylon, he converted to the Buddhist faith. Farrer was gifted with a diversity of talents - a writer, an intrepid plant-hunter, a painter, who was also a practical gardener. He had a profound influence on subsequent garden writers and his memory is enshrined in the many plant introductions which bear his name.

  • From CHAPTER 16 SPLENDOURS and LOSSES
    CEYLON - Excerpt from Marvels: The Life of Clarence Bicknell - Botanist, Archaeologist, Artist By Valerie Lester From CHAPTER 16 SPLENDOURS AND LOSSES Clarence had long yearned to see true tropical vegetation, and was planning to spend five weeks in Ceylon, but first he made a quick trip to England in November 1907. A year had passed since Ada’s stroke and he wished to check on her recovery. Also, he hoped to meet with Sir David Prain, Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens at Kew, who might be invaluable in providing names of botanists in Ceylon. i Unfortunately, and while still at Ada’s house he himself was felled by a severe attack of lumbago which immobilized him, so the list of botanists failed to materialize. Once back in Italy he and Luigi set off for Ceylon – for convenience, I shall use the word Ceylon, the common usage in Clarence’s day – on 18 December 1907, but, and irritatingly, no diary survives from this time. All that exists is a couple of short descriptions in letters to Burnat. But where Clarence is wanting, Reginald Farrer is forthcoming. Farrer (1880–1920), then a 27-year- old world traveller and plant collector, also visited the island in early 1908, ii and his book, In Old Ceylon, was published later that year. Thus Clarence’s first view of Ceylon from the sea would have been the same as Farrer’s, who begins his book with these lines: ‘Hull down, hull down, lies Lanka, sleeping island of the saints . Faint breezes of perfume hover and linger round the ship as she dreams her way cross the surface of a flawless opal sea .
