Written by celebrated botanist and broadcaster David Bellamy, the text presents a detailed and passionate account of the surprising diversity of wild plant life thriving behind the palace walls — an ecological treasure hidden in plain sight at the heart of London. Complementing Bellamy's authoritative and engaging narrative, Marjorie Lyon's exquisite botanical paintings illustrate each species with the precision and beauty of the finest natural history tradition. The result is a work that sits at the intersection of science, art, and royal heritage, revealing an intimate and rarely glimpsed corner of Britain's most famous residence.
