“The Plant Messiah" delves into the life of Carlos Magdalena, also known as the 'Kew Gardens Codebreaker.' As a Senior Botanical Horticulturist at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Carlos draws inspiration from his childhood hero, Félix Rodríguez de la Fuente. Recalling how a tragic news report ignited a fervent passion for conservation, Carlos is determined to reverse humanity's detrimental impact on global biodiversity.
Embarking on a quest to unravel the mysteries of existence, Carlos ardently advocates for the protection of plant species. Now, his focus is on passionately transferring his enthusiasm to future champions, inspiring them to carry forth the torch of preservation and his love for the natural world.
