Description
“Some plants are inherently rare, while others become rare through our actions.”
Rare Plants explores what makes the world's most uncommon plants so exceptional, and by what means they have become so scarce. From highlands to jungles, many of our most extraordinary plants are vanishing at shocking rates, and this exquisitely illustrated book explores 40 of these mysterious species.
Featuring stunning archive images and expert insight from the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew, Rare Plants explores both the beauty and necessity of our endangered plant life.
- Published in collaboration with the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, which receives nearly 2 million visitors from across the world every year.
- The threat to these beautiful, rare and endangered plants is internationally topical. Awareness is being raised by institutions like Kew and organizations such as Extinction Rebellion and documentaries like David Attenborough's The Green Planet.
- Previous collaborations between Welbeck and Kew have won awards internationally and have sold over 80,000 copies worldwide.
An illustrated exploration of what makes the world's most uncommon plants so exceptional, and by what means they have become so scarce.
