In 1835 George Baker ran away from home in Hertfordshire at the age of just twelve. Barely able to read and lucky not to have been born in the workhouse like his older siblings, he had with him his gardening book and a shilling piece in his pocket. He got his first golden ticket that night, sleeping rough in the greenhouse of a kindly benefactor who took him under his wing and encouraged his love of horticulture. He would die some 70 years later in Istanbul (Constantinople), a rich man with a large Levantine family all (apart from one son) successfully working in his various businesses in Turkey and England. He had the same shilling on his watch chain and worked to his last day. This is his story; how he overcame a poor and wretched background, rising through the horticultural profession in England and finding a job redesigning the British embassy gardens in Istanbul. He would become a hugely successful Levantine trader with a large and talented family. He diversified investing in two of his sons' carpet and fabric business back in England, part of which continues to thrive today.
