Catalogues of Hackfalls Arboretum
Bob Berry made his first hand written list of trees and shrubs at the arboretum in 1963. In the same year he wrote the first catalogue of Eastwoodhill, he also published the first typewritten “list of trees and shrubs” of Abbotsford Station, as Hackfalls was still called in those days. Those catalogues were the first of a long list of ever expanding publications that Bob made, until the publication of the Plant list of Hackfalls Arboretum in 2007, covering 158 pages in Excel.

Famous quotes containing the words catalogues of and/or catalogues:
“It is, in both cases, that a spiritual life has been imparted to nature; that the solid seeming block of matter has been pervaded and dissolved by a thought; that this feeble human being has penetrated the vast masses of nature with an informing soul, and recognised itself in their harmony, that is, seized their law. In physics, when this is attained, the memory disburthens itself of its cumbrous catalogues of particulars, and carries centuries of observation in a single formula.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
