Description:

This stunning Kew pocketbook is a celebration of the plants integral to religious, cultural and national festivities around the world. This book is a celebration of the plants integral to religious, cultural and national festivities around the world, used as decoration in wreaths, garlands and shrines, for their scent, and in festive recipes.

40 botanical paintings of this merry group are gorgeously reproduced from Kew’s Library and Archives, one of the most extensive botanical libraries in the world. An introduction by Kew ethnobotanist Mark Nesbitt provides an overview of these plants, and detailed captions accompany each painting, making this a charming keepsake.

The luxury finish on these books makes them a must-have gift item, printed on uncoated paper and with a cloth and foil finish.
