This rich and beautiful book takes readers from tropical forests to
deserts, and from alpine mountains to English country gardens as it
tours the most magnificent botanic havens in the world. There has
never been a better time to celebrate botanic gardens. As centres
for research, conservation and education, these expansive
collections are integral to our understanding of the true power of
plants. But they also hold some of the most beautiful species on
earth – including ferns, trees, cacti, orchids and more –
expertly cared for and presented as a feast for the senses,
delighting thousands of visitors each year. In a curation of the
most inspiring and diverse botanic gardens from around the world
– from Brooklyn and San Francisco, to Colombia and Brazil; Oxford
and Kew, to Cape Town and Mauritius; Norway and Germany, to Sydney
and Thailand – discover surprising diversity, superb vistas and
some of the most intriguing plants you can imagine. Ambra Edwards
introduces the gardens – bringing them to life on the page –
and uncovers their history, collections and scientific influence.
This book will not shy from sometimes uncomfortable truths, but it
is first and foremost a celebration of the wonder that is contained
within the world’s greatest botanic gardens.
