Farne

Ferns are wonderful garden and indoor plants.
Fascinating plants from ancient times.
From delicate to tree-high: the whole diversity of ferns in one book.

Ferns are among the oldest plants on earth. They have existed for about 400 million years and played an important role in history - as survivors of the great extinction of species to their use as medicinal and useful plants. In this richly illustrated book, Anton Sundin presents this fascinating group of plants in all its facets: the botanical aspects, the influence on myths, art and design and the "fern fever" of the Victorian age, when people could not get enough of ferns.
Alongside advice for gardening practice, various ferns are presented that are particularly suitable for your own garden or as houseplants.
