It all started over 100 years ago.
Born in 1893, Euan Cox was invalided out of First World War and avoided going on a troop ship which was sunk just outside Southampton. During the war he worked as John Buchan’s secretary at the Foreign Office. In 1919 Euan was invited by well-known plant hunter and garden writer Reginald Farrer to accompany him to upper Burma on a plant collecting expedition. Peter and Ken Cox, notable experts, now run the garden and nursery in Scotland.
