Superplantes is the French translation (by Isabelle Enderlein) of Elke Schwarzer’s gardening book Superpflanzen. It was published by Édition Rouergue and designed by Hélène Burel. She chose Gaya as the main typeface, used from headlines to body text. Aktiv Grotesk is used for subheads, marginalia etcetera.
From the publisher (auto-translated):
For a more resilient garden, the author of Superplantes presents 84 species of perennials, trees and shrubs, like superheroes with multiple powers. Because the challenge is enormous: drought, new pests, winters too mild, summers too hot… In this battle to cultivate gardens that resist, adapt and do good for the soil, our best allies are plants!
The book counts 144 pages and measures 17×23 cm
