Description

Kew: Parched is a collection of over 50 beautiful, fascinating and-most importantly-drought-proof species from around the world.
We often think of the most beautiful plants as those that are lush, verdant, and need careful care and tending-but what if we could change the way we think of botanical beauty to include those that thrive with hot sun, parched earth and little to no water?
Following the hottest summer on record, Kew: Parched explores the captivating variety that exists in the world of dry plants. From roadside daisies native to California and prickly pear cacti from the Mexican desert to the familiar sights of lavender, rosemary and yarrow, this incredible range of species is explored through beautiful botanical illustrations from Kew's archives in this gorgeously packaged gift book.
About Philip Clayton
Philip Clayton is a freelance garden writer and editor, and one of the UK's most knowledgeable horticulturists, having previously worked with the RHS for two decades, latterly as Deputy Editor of The Garden magazine. He has written hundreds of articles for a broad range of publications with expertise in garden plants, gardens (great and small) and nurseries. Phil's knowledge is substantial, borne from personal endeavour and an appetite to grow a diverse selection of plants, currently in his small walled garden in Peterborough, one of the UK's driest cities. His most recent book, A Plant for Every Day of the Year, was published by Dorling Kindersley in October 2022.
