Wikipedia description:

Christopher John Charles Thacker (14 March 1931 – 27 September 2018) was an English garden historian. After graduating from Brasenose College, Oxford, and a Phd at the University of Indiana, he was an academic, but never as a garden historian, a field still emerging in his day. Mostly he taught French literature at Trinity College, Dublin and Reading University. He was the founding editor of the leading academic journal Garden History.
