Available in Arabic and English editions, the book documents the floral variety found in the Palestinian Museum gardens. It provides information about each plant’s history, etymology, biology, medicinal and aesthetic benefits as well as other popular uses. It also details the plants’ national and cultural significance, thus shedding light on their association with Palestinian identity. Like the Palestinian Museum gardens themselves, this catalogue recounts the floral and horticultural history of Palestine across different eras. The English and Arabic editions open with forewords by Omar Tesdell, PhD, and writer and poet Zakariya Mohammad.
