Good introduction to botany.
This is a very well written book which holds the reader's interest. I am learning so much from reading it, although I have been gardening for years. I also love the illustrations which help with understanding the text. I recommend this book to anyone interested in gardening that would like to understand the science behind how plants grow, etc...Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Outstanding Book Easy to Understand
I'm enjoying this fabulous easy to understand botany book. Beautiful pictures and illustrations. I was surprised it was only 6 x 9 in. so it handy to carry around to read anywhere. I'm currently using it in my botany college course. I'll keep it as a reference manual.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Informative
This book was recommended at my state extensions master garden course as a way to go more in depth into botany than we could for the class. Very informative. And applicable to gardeners that want to get into the science of how and why. Wouldn’t call it a gripping page turner but it covers the information well without being too dry or heavy.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
