Beyond the Gardens: The Plant Family Tree

The Herbarium at Kew is a vast Victorian maze filled with arcane books, learned scientists and cabinet after cabinet of dried catalogued plants.
Tracing 160 years, Mark Chase, Head of the Jodrell Laboratory at Kew, reveals how the Herbarium has evolved from a modest collection of dried plant specimens, to a hub of ground-breaking scientific discovery that has shaped our understanding of the plant family tree forever.

I think I want to watch this 100 times. Then go get a botany degree.

With the shift to using cover crops to build healthier soils, and a movement(?) to create Edible Forest Gardens using Guilds to create ecosystems for various plants.
I would imagine the knowledge of plants at Kew could go a long way toward building a knowledge base to use that would make a selection of plants for various purposes such as a mix of plants to use to build soil health.
