Enjoy 30% off The Secret Language of Plants

The Secret Language of Plants by Dr Hope Werness is a richly researched reference work that explores the cultural, historical, and artistic meanings of over fifty plants – from the symbolic power of the acacia in Ancient Egypt to the poetic role of the iris in Van Gogh’s work. This is the ideal reference volume for the artistically inspired botanist as well as a pleasure to read and leaf through (and incredibly beautiful!)

Weaving together botany, mythology, folklore, religious texts, and centuries of art and literature, this richly illustrated, elegant reference guide engages the cultural significance and underlying meanings of over fifty plants. Each entry is accompanied by a work of art or botanical illustration, bringing together the world of art and plants in an elegant and seamless fashion and deepening our understanding of how plants have been used by artists in the past and what they mean to us today.
