Introduction 

Horticulture and gardening have always been important activities for the John Innes 

Centre both scientifically and recreationally. The Institute was founded in 1910 under the 

name John Innes Horticultural Institute with the joint purpose of being a horticultural 

training institute and a scientific research institute. Early work in the Institute was 

focussed on fruit breeding and plant genetics. Work was carried out on apples and 

cherries amongst other fruits and also with other flowering plants such as tulips. The early 

work of the Institute has made a lasting contribution to the world of gardening through 

the development of a variety of different plants and also the world famous John Innes 

Composts. 

The library and archive collections reflect the importance of horticulture and gardening in 

the early life of the John Innes Centre with a wide spread of resources in both the Modern 

Science Library and the John Innes Foundation Historical Collections. In recognition of this 

the Library, Information and Archives service have taken the opportunity to create a selfcontained 

‘Gardening Library’ within the Main Science Library. This collection has brought 

together the gardening books and extensive runs of gardening periodicals that were 

previously dispersed throughout the library and with the addition of a number of modern 

books we hope that the collection will be of use to gardeners of all levels and types within 

the John Innes Centre. 

This catalogue lists all of of the material that can be found within the gardening library 

and gives details of selected resources from the John Innes Foundation Rare Books 

Collection that are likely to be of interest to gardeners. The gardening library can be 

found on the 1 st floor of the library in the 6 th bay of shelves and is now fully operational.

RESOURCES AVAILABLE WITHIN THE JOHN INNES FOUNDATION HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS 

The John Innes Foundation Historical Collections contain many resources that are of interest to gardeners of 

all types and levels. What follows is an edited selection of records from the catalogue of the Rare Books 

Collection prepared by Elizabeth Stratton in July 2002. As well as the material highlighted below there are 

many local, national and international flora’s within the collection that highlight the plants that can be found 

in a given locality. Some of the herbals that are contained within the collection will also be of interest to 

gardeners as they contain details not only of the medicinal uses of the plants but also a brief description of 

how to grow the plant and in most cases an illustration of the plant for identification purposes. These books 

are not available to be borrowed by members of staff but they are available for reference use and if you 

wish to make use of them please see a member of library staff. A full catalogue of the books within the Rare 

Books Collection is available from the library and visits to the collection can be arranged through the library
