Practical Botany for Gardeners by Geoff Hodge
As Heard on The Daily Gardener Podcast:
Today's book recommendation: Practical Botany for Gardeners by Geoff Hodge
This book explains over 3,000 botanical terms.
I think one of the reasons this book is so helpful is that it is so beautifully put together.
The Denver Post said:
"It is a gentle guide to the green world... organized precisely how a non-botanist would need it done."
The book is heavily illustrated and it's illustrated in a very decorative way. It's one of my favorite books to give to new and experienced gardeners.
Part handbook, part reference, Practical Botany for Gardeners is a beautifully captivating read. It’s a must for garden lovers and backyard botanists who want to grow and nurture their own plant knowledge.
