The Meaning of Trees | Robert Vennell

Part guide, part gift book, The Meaning of Trees celebrates the rich history and cultural significance of Aotearoa New Zealand’s native plants.

Beautifully presented with botanical drawings, paintings, and photographs, this exquisite hardback reveals how our unique flora has shaped daily life — from food, medicine, and shelter to spirituality and science.

Discover stories of Jurassic giants and curious botanical oddities in a book that’s as informative as it is beautiful — a true homage to New Zealand’s native plant heritage.
