Mark Nesbitt

I'm a museum curator and researcher in useful plants at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, and a Visiting Professor in Geography at Royal Holloway, University of London. I've been fascinated by the relations between plants and people since I was at school, and am now lucky enough to look after the Economic Botany Collection at Kew, which is made up of about 100,000 plant raw materials and artefacts.
