WILD ABOUT PLANTS!

FIELD GUIDE LAUNCH AT BEST OF BOOKS

We're officially launching our field guide to the wild plants of Antigua and Barbuda on Friday 9th July at Best of Books in Friar's Hill Road at 7pm. We will be presenting copies to schools and colleges, community groups and agricultural organizations. The public are welcome to join us! Three of the authors will be available for book signing.

The Field Guide is based on extensive surveys of Antigua & Barbuda by the authors, Kevel Lindsay, Carolyn Thomas, Melanie Pearson and Chris Pratt. The book includes over 1000 photographs, all taken in Antigua and Barbuda by the authors and some 500 wild plant species are described. The project was funded by USAID and took over 2 years of intensive research, field work and documenting.
