THE BOTANICAL TREASURY: CELEBRATING 40 OF THE WORLD'S MOST FASCINATING PLANTS THROUGH HISTORICAL ART AND MANUSCRIPTS

For centuries, an eclectic group of plants have captivated the world and propelled explorers to extraordinary lengths to collect them. The botanical treasury brings together centuries of botanical adventures and discoveries. It features a full-color exploration of our most important and interesting plants; facsimiles of rarely seen letters, maps, and journals from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; and forty beautifully reproduced prints. Equally extraordinary are the stories associated with the discovery of these plants, revealing the lengths to which collectors and growers would go to find them.
