Nearly 40% of our population considers themselves to be gardeners, making this and associated activities a national pursuit. And yet, while we hold endless discussions over how to seed, grow, and disseminate our cherished plants, we still know relatively little about how they were collected, exchanged, circulated, identified, and modified, and how much art has shaped our understanding and appreciation of them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis publication, designed to accompany the homonymous exhibition at the Ashmolean Museum, explores some of these plant stories through highlights from Oxford’s collections. Bringing together historical and scientific expertise, art and material culture, traditional and contemporary artworks, this book ultimately reflects on the long-lasting impact of flora on our society - and of us on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Bateman Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49991751434517,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2587\/5606\/files\/IMG-5612.webp?v=1782438520","url":"https:\/\/addenbrooke.co.nz\/products\/in-bloom-how-plants-changed-our-world","provider":"Addenbrooke","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
