The Secret Life of Plants – First Edition (1973)

This is a first edition copy of The Secret Life of Plants by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, published in 1973 by Harper & Row. A groundbreaking work that bridges science, mysticism, and ethnobotany, the book explores the fascinating ways plants respond to human interaction and environmental stimuli.

First editions are especially sought after for their cultural and historical significance, as the book became a cult classic that influenced generations of readers, researchers, and artists.

This volume is part of my personal collection of rare botany and plant-related works, reflecting the intersection of science, history, and human imagination in understanding the plant world.
