WIN! A gorgeous botanic garden book
The Botanic Garden is the new rich and beautiful guide from bestselling garden writer Ambra Edwards. It explores the most magnificent botanic havens from every continent across the world.
This gorgeous 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.
Three times Garden Journalist of the Year Ambra Edwards introduces the gardens, bringing them to life on the page, and uncovers their history, collections, and scientific influence.
There has never been a more important time to celebrate botanic gardens. With 40 per cent of plant species threatened with extinction due to climate change and habitat destruction, these botanic gardens preserve and protect vital species, ensuring they are in the front line in safeguarding the plant kingdom.
But they are not only great treasure houses of fabulous plants and pioneering centres of science; they are also outstandingly good gardens, holding 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, meaning they can also delight thousands of visitors each year.
From Brooklyn to Brazil, Oxford to Cape Town, Mauritius to Norway and Germany to Thailand, discover surprising diversity, superb vistas, and some of the most intriguing plants you can imagine.
The Botanic Garden is the ultimate guide for armchair travellers and garden lovers, featuring rich and diverse gardens from every continent to feed our minds, refresh our spirits, exercise our imaginations, and astound us with the myriad marvels of the natural world.
