Kew is delighted to partner in a special edition of this much loved and beautifully illustrated Eric Carle book. First published in 1987, this Kew special edition will bring back fond memories and delight existing fans of The Tiny Seed and Eric Carle, and bring joy to new audiences of all ages with a passion for nature.
When the tiny seed is blown away from its parent plant, it travels a very long way - over seas, deserts and mountains. The tiny seed survives the hazards of the journey and finally falls onto fertile earth. It grows and grows, becoming the tallest, biggest flower for miles around. Then one day the wind blows and thousands of the flower's seeds begin their own journeys.
The Tiny Seed provided inspiration to elements of The Children's Garden design, which opened at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew in May 2019.
