REMARKABLE PLANTS (HB)

We depend on plants for the air we breathe, the food we eat and the clothes we wear - along with much else. This is a glorious celebration of the beauty, diversity, importance and sheer wonder of plants, with illustrations from the collections of Kew Gardens. It explores over 80 key plants from across the globe, and presents their cultural, historical, botanical and symbolic associations. From the Fertile Crescent to the tulip craze and the global domination of the coffee bean, this is the root-to-tip story of our symbiosis with plants.
