Description

This is the first English-language guide to Armenian flora which is incredibly diverse and includes many favourite garden plants and their relatives. Describing more than 1000 plants each with a photograph, full plant description and distribution map, this is an essential companion for plant enthusiasts and botanists and a wonderful way of getting to know the plants of this fascinating country, whether exploring at home or in the field. Tamar Galstyan graduated from the University of Art and Theatre in Yerevan, Armenia before studying ecology. She began travelling to see plants in the wild and posted photos on her popular Facebook page ‘Plants of Armenia’. In 2012 Tamar began guiding botany trips in Armenia and she now has her own travel company, SkyGreen. Travels in Georgia, Iran and Central Asia deepened Tamar’s love of nature as well as her plant knowledge. She learns by travelling and is passionate about sharing what she has learnt guiding botany trips.”Wow! This is a remarkable and significant contribution to the literature of the region.” PANAYOTI KELAIDIS, SENIOR CURATOR DENVER BOTANIC GARDENS
