What was tulipmania? Where would you find a boreal forest? And why are fungi not plants? Exploring everything from algae to the wood-wide web, this brilliantly eclectic and beautifully illustrated book delves into the roots, meaning and compelling stories of 250 botanical words. Guided by the experts at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Plant Words is a cornucopia of horticultural terms. From plants that have changed the course of history to those that talk to each other, and from trees as old as dinosaurs to gardening in outer space, this intriguing collection will cultivate your curiosity and give you the inside story on plants.
Founded in 1840, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, are home to the largest and most diverse botanical and mycological collections in the world.
