The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, has the largest and arguably most famous collection of living plants of any garden in the world, and a publishing arm to match. Kew’s titles include books on botanical art, photography and horticulture, as well as scientific journals, conservation and ecology, checklists, field guides and illustrated botanical monographs.
The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, was founded in 1840, although its origins can be traced back earlier, and has 30,000 plant species and one of the world’s largest herbarium collections, with more than seven million specimens. UNESCO designated Kew Gardens a World Heritage Site in 2003.
