Description:

This book is a celebration of the natural bounty around us, offering a meadow’s worth of familiar plants, including foxgloves, poppies, dandelion, ivy, daisy, bluebells and orchids, and many more. 40 delightful botanical paintings from the Kew archives depict these classic plants.

With an introduction by Ed Ikin, Deputy Director of Wakehurst, RBG Kew.

The Library, Art and Archives at Kew is one of the most extensive botanical libraries in the world, with the oldest item dating back to the 1370s. In this new pocketbook series from Kew, each book presents 40 botanical paintings from the collection, illustrating the variety within each plant group, as well as the diversity of the collection and artistic styles.

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