In the spring, the ground of the Agora archaeological park is covered in poppies and daisies while poplars and oaks shade many of the pathways. Some of these plants are wild and some were deliberately introduced to Athens in classical times. This booklet presents evidence for ancient horticulture in the Agora (for example, structured antique gardens were uncovered around the Temple of Hephaistos). Its colour plates also provide a useful guide to identifying modern Greek vegetation.
This is Book 8 in the Agora Picture Book Series. See all Agora Picture Book books here.
