An unadulterated celebration of the world's flora, from the everyday daffodil to the rarest orchid, Plant features an extensive encyclopedia of 2,000 of the most spectacular and imperiled plants on the planet, and shows gardeners how they can play a personal and important role in helping to save them. The lushly illustrated, large-format pages are filled with fascinating tidbits about plants, their wild habitats, the threats they face, and the heroic stories of the people who are working to rescue them from extinction. Plant is also full of advice on which plants need the help of gardeners, and how to grow them. This unprecedented reference gives gardeners both the horticultural and the conservation information they need to make their gardens and greenhouses a part of the great green ark.
