The oldest rose fossil was found in Colorado and dates to 35 million years ago. Marigolds, infamous for their ability to self-seed, are named for an Etruscan god who sprang from a ploughed field. And daffodils—an icon of spring—were introduced to Britain by the Romans more than 2,000 years ago. Every garden plant has an origination story, and Garden Flora, by noted garden designer Noel Kingsbury, shares them in a beautifully compelling way. This lushly illustrated survey of 133 of the most commonly grown plants explains where each plant came from and the journey it took into home gardens. Kingsbury tells intriguing tales of the most important plant hunters, breeders, and gardeners throughout history, and explores the unexpected ways plants have been used. Richly illustrated with an eclectic mix of new and historical photos, botanical art, and vintage seed packets and catalogs, Garden Flora is a must-have reference for every gardener and plant lover.

Пожалуй, нет других таких цветов, которые, попав из Америки в Европу в эпоху Великих географических открытий, так быстро, всего за 100 лет, распространились по всему миру.

Книга посвящена культивированию дикорастущих кустарников терна и терносливы. Плоды этих растений содержат ценные питательные и биологически активные вещества. Особенно много в них пектина, который используется при изготовлении различных консервов и кондитерских изделий -джемов, пастилы, мармелада, цукатов, варенья и т.д. и способствует выведению из организма вредных веществ, в том числе радионуклидов. В народной медицине терн известен как вяжущее, дезинфицирующее и кровоочистительное средство, а отвар из его коры, корней и молодых веточек обладает жаропонижающим и потогонным свойством.
