Throughout history, trees have always been important and beloved by humans; from practical to spiritual. Centres of biodiversity and essential in climate equilibrium, we simply couldn’t survive without them.

An introductory chapter by Kew tree expert Kevin Martin provides an overview of the plant group, and extended captions accompany each painting.
