Plants : from roots to riches
Willis, K. J.2015
Book
Our peculiarly British obsession with gardens goes back a long way and 'Plants' takes us back to where it all began. Across 25 episodes, Kathy Willis shows us how the last 250 years transformed our relationship with plants. In the style of 'A History of the World in 100 Objects', each chapter tells a separate story, but, gathered together, a great picture unfolds, of our most remarkable science, botany.
