Carlos Magdalena of Kew Gardens is not your average botanical
horticulturist. He's a man on a mission to save the world's most
endangered plants from destruction and thieves hunting for wealthy
collectors. He is a plant messiah. From the planet's tiniest
waterlily - the Nymphaea thermarum - to Huarango trees with roots
over 50 metres long, Carlos has a miraculous ability to bring
breathtakingly beautiful plants back from the brink of extinction.
He has travelled to the most remote and dangerous parts of the
world - from the mountains of Peru to isolated Indian Ocean islands
to the deepest Australian outback - in search of the rarest exotic
species. Then, back in the Tropical Nursery at Kew, he uses
pioneering, left-field techniques to help them grow. Now he's here
to spread the gospel. The Plant Messiah is the inspirational story
of a man who has devoted - and risked - his life to save incredible
species, all in the name of making this Earth a greener and happier
place. Amen to that.
