The Plant Messiah by Carlos Magdalena
Carlos Magdalena is a man on a mission: to save the world's most endangered plants. In The Plant Messiah, Magdalena takes readers from the forests of Peru to deep within the Australian outback in search of the rare and the vulnerable. Back in the lab--at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, home of the largest botanical collection in the world--we watch as he develops groundbreaking, left-field techniques for rescuing species from extinction, encouraging them to propagate and thrive once again. Passionate and absorbing, The Plant Messiah is a tribute to the diversity of life on our planet, and to the importance of preserving it.Carlos Magdalena is an international educator and the Tropical Senior Botanical Horticulturist at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. He is known for his one-of-a-kind abilities as a plant propagator, which he uses to save the world's rarest plants.
