Gardner, Martin: PLANTS FROM THE WOODS AND FORESTS OF CHILE BY MARTIN GARDNER, PAULINA HECHENLEITNER AND JOSEFINA HEPP
Our Scientific & Education Committee Member, Martin Gardner of the Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, who has spent 30 years visiting Chile and is regarded as a leading authority on the cultivation of Chilean plants in the UK, is joined by two Chilean collaborators, Paulina Hechenleitner and Josefina Hepp, who have drawn on decades of experience working with Chilean plants in their native habitats and in cultivation to give fascinating insights to their distribution, habitat, conservation and uses. This book is illustrated by three talented Turkish artists, Gülnur Ekşi, Hülya Korkmaz and Işık Güner, trained by Christabel King. The legacy is evident in their skilful paintings. The book, to be published in mid-October 2015, is limited to 450 numbered copies. To order, download the form at: http://chileanplants.rbge.org.uk/images/uploads/pubschilebookorderform.pdf
