As the librarian for my garden club, I have a small budget to buy books that meet our needs.A happy by-product of this activity is that I learn the best ones, and I can then buy them for myself.This is one of these.A great index, cultural information, plant descriptions for almost everything (not everything, but almost) make it indispensible for us as a reference at our annual plant sale and during meetings.I would say it is the most popular book at our meetings and the one owned individually by the most members.Product Description
