Michel de Montaigne was one of the earliest garden tourists to record his impressions of gardens (c1580).[lower-alpha 1] John Evelyn also recorded his visits to gardens in France and Italy, as did Fynes Moryson.[lower-alpha 2] Maggie Campbell-Culver wrote a biography of John Evelyn as she sourced from woods and gardens Evelyn took steps in, and described trees from oak as an Evelyn's symbol to evergreens he favored the most.[7][8]
