Description

To celebrate the 60th Anniversary of the Coronation, HRH The Prince of Wales called for the creation of new wildflower meadows.

Rittson Thomas also photographs a wide range of rare wild orchids, including the monkey, bee, man and lady orchids, encouraging us to discover the rich botanical heritage of the wildflowers and unique meadows of Great Britain.

Critic Reviews

"Anyone with a passion for wildflowers, as do I, will love this astonishing book which beautifully captures meadows that have survived, been restored and are a template for what can be done to cultivate and ensure their future." -- Richard E. Grant, Academy Award, BAFTA & Golden Globe Nominee; "This beautiful book shows many examples of our ravishing meadows that need to be cherished and protected like precious jewels. For anyone whose heart misses a beat in places like these, this book is a jewel in itself." --Tom Stuart-Smith, landscape architect; "I have a few wildflower meadows on my farm and they are a source of constant joy. They are also desperately important so study this wonderful book carefully. Because it's not just a pretty picture. It matters." --Jeremy Clarkson, broadcaster, writer & journalist
