Fastest Way to Learn Plant Identification
I absolutely love this book! I bought it as a gift for someone, but in the interim, I ended up reading through it and decided to get a copy for myself. This is the fastest way to educate yourself in plant identification. It groups plants into families and gives you signs to look for so you can at least have a vague idea of what you are dealing with, in almost every circumstance. It mentions poisonous members of that family to beware of, or if there are no harmful examples. There is information on edibles and medicinals. The illustrations are beautifully detailed. Each chapter is a simple lesson for the day, with a quiz at the end to test your newfound knowledge. Read it as if it were a textbook. I would recommend BOTANY IN A DAY as a starting place for anyone interested in gaining basic plant identification skills, to be supplemented, later on, with books that focuses more on individual strains. This book should be mandatory education taught in schools everywhere!Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
