John Parkinson is best known as a herbalist, and particularly as the author of the Paradisus Terrestris of 1629, and the Theatrum Botanicum of 1640. Born in 1567, he was by profession an apothecary, being important enough to become one of the founder members of the Society of Apothecaries in London, in 1617.1 Parkinson served as a warden of the Society from 1620–21, but resigned from the governing body (its Court of Assistants) in 1622 and entered into a prolonged and profitable retirement, during which he wrote both the Paradisus and Theatrum.2 But in addition, it is clear that throughout his life Parkinson was an enthusiastic and skilful gardener, and it is with this that this article is concerned
