Historia
Matric 1926. Despite six generations of engineers behind him (Garrett Engines of Leiston, Suffolk), he took up Botany, and married Jane Perkins from the rival firm in Peterborough. After research work in Adelaide, London and Rothamsted, Berks, he returned to Cambridge in 1949, becoming Reader in Mycology in 1961 and Professor in 1971. He became a Fellow in 1962, one of two elections (the other was Dr R.V. Short in Physiology) made to meet the recommendations of the Bridges Report about increasing the number of College fellowships for those with University posts. Garrett was an adventurous eater of fungus species, but never made a mistake.
