Mary Ann Robb (née Boulton; 1829–1912) was a 19th-century English botanist, horticulturalist and botanical collector. The perennial plant Euphorbia amygdaloides var. robbiae is named in her honour. Robb helped make this plant popular in British gardens.
Alastair's great-grandmother Mary-Anne was a plant hunter, with the Wood Spurge Euphorbia amygdaloides 'var. robbiae' named after her, nicknamed "Mrs Robb's Bonnet" because she had to hide it in her hat to smuggle it through customs.
In 1993, Mary-Anne and Alastair Robb bought Cothay and lavished all of their energies and passion to create one of the finest gardens in England using the bones of the original garden structure laid out in the 1920’s by Col. Reginald Cooper.
