On a mission to save Britain’s endangered native orchids, Ben Jacob broke into building sites in the dead of night to rescue threatened plants, turned his kitchen into a laboratory, his fridge into storage for hundreds of baby flowers, and his back yard into a plantation. But doing all this put him on the wrong side of the law. . .
University lecturer by day and clandestine ecologist by night, Ben Jacob lives with his family (and a small plantation of native orchids) at an undisclosed location deep in the West Country. This is his first book.
