Abstract: Though China has been called Mother of Gardens since nearly a hundred years ago, the Chinese ornamental plants resources and their contribution to the horticultural world has never been summarized. Through the hard work of China National Botanical Garden (North Garden) with more than seventy institutions by nearly 170 contributors both from home and abroad, ten volumes of China, Mother of the Gardens, in the Twenty First Century, with 5995 pages and more than 11,520,000 words, have been published in the past four years (2022—2025). The contents and procedure of ten volumes and the prospect of future volumes are introduced here, and we hope more colleagues could join us in writing the new chapter of a series of books entitled China, Mother of Gardens in the Twenty-First Century.
