Rhs Botany For Gardeners Hardcover – January 1, 2013

A most beautiful volume that informs and pleases the senses.

I moved from a Manhattan apartment to a house in a mid-sized city six months ago. The house is on a double lot and the previous owners were retirees who kept an award-winning perennial garden that I inherited. This book has been AMAZING for helping me to understand how my new hobby works. The writing is clear, with frequent inset boxes relating the botany to the gardening, and the illustrations are a delight. Love reading a few pages before bed.

This book explains botany is easy to understand vocabulary while introducing botanic terms to the reader. Important botanists past and present are introduced in sidebars to enhance the reader’s appreciation of the importance of botany and plant science to human well being.I suggest this book to my adult botany students, none of whom have scientific literacy.

Lots of good basics for gardeners to know, with lovely pictures and concise language.

Great introduction and review on Botany. I am a beginner gardener and this book it lovely. I will use it as a reference from here on out. Beautiful illustrations. Each chapter covers a little bit of everything.

Nice book. Well written, but that is to be expected from the Royal Horticultural Society. Gets a little technical but quite understandable. Well illustrated. has a prominent place on my bookshelf.

Beautiful ,old fashion book
