Explore the world through a horticultural lens in Wild Edens: an armchair traveller' s guide to interesting plants from around the world. Discover the fascinating history and origins of a collection of unique flora, often from hard-to-reach locations in the globe' s most abundant biodiversity hotspots, such as Ixia dubia in the Western Cape and the Mediterranean' s Crocus biflorus. Each chapter includes a map, personal reflections from the author about exploring these often-remote locations, scene-setting descriptions on topography, geography, climate and flora, key botanical locations within the hotspot, a plant compendium and summary of how the plants impacted garden fashions/styles. Tapping into the revival in interest of nature, gardening and the natural world, this is a premium armchair traveller' s guide to interesting plants, flora and fauna from around the world, often from locations that are hard to visit, even without a global pandemic.
