DK and The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew have teamed up to bring you: Plant - an encyclopaedic A-Z guide to the plants and flowers of the world. Welcome to a new kind of plant reference.
Experience the beauty and diversity of flora from all over the globe, from everyday varieties to wild, exotic and even rare species - all written from a gardener's perspective in one spectacular survey.
An unadulterated celebration of the world's flora, Plant offers more
than just a gardening guide. It also features 2,000 of the most
imperiled plants on the planet, and shows how gardeners can play a
personal and important role in helping to save them.
UNESCO officially inscribed the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew as a world heritage site in 2003. With its collections of living and preserved plants, and of botanical information, Kew forms an encylopedia of knowledge about the plant kingdom and is also instrumental in research and conservation. This knowledge and experience fills the pages of Plant and proceeds from every copy sold will directly benefit Kew.
