Carlos Magdalena of Kew Gardens is not your average botanical horticulturist. Hes a man on a mission to save the worlds most endangered plants from destruction and thieves hunting for wealthy collectors. He is a plant messiah.From the planets tiniest waterlily the Nymphaea thermarum to Huarango trees with roots over 50 metres long, Carlos has a miraculous ability to bring breathtakingly beautiful plants back from the brink of extinction. He has travelled to the most remote and dangerous parts of the world from the mountains of Peru to isolated Indian Ocean islands to the deepest Australian outback in search of the rarest exotic species. Then, back in the Tropical Nursery at Kew, he uses pioneering, leftfield techniques to help them grow.Now hes here to spread the gospel. The Plant Messiah is the inspirational story of a man who has devoted and risked his life to save incredible species, all in the name of making this Earth a greener and happier place. Amen to that.
