Summary
This rich and beautiful guide from best-selling garden writer Ambra Edwards explores the most magnificent botanic havens from every continent across the world.
There has never been a better time to celebrate botanic gardens. 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.
As centers 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.
Ambra Edwards introduces the gardens, bringing them to life on the page, and uncovers their history, collections, and scientific influence. This is a celebration of the wonder that is contained within the world’s greatest botanic gardens.
