Understanding plants (3/3 people found this helpful)
This book is an absolute must if you are baffled by the boffin types who always refer to plants by their latin names. Not only does this book help you understand the meaning behind those names but helps you pronounce them as well. Its a lovely publication for which you do not have to be an expert gardener to understand. You will find endless pleasure in reading it and it wont turn you into a geek either. Enjoy as you do your gardening.

Book as a gift to grandson, used one for many years while working in horticulture, found very useful to pronounce latin names and spellings correctly.
Just what I needed (1/1 people found this helpful)
Currently doing a horticulture course which involved nomenclature and I was delighted to find this which gives just enough information to explain the name in English.
A useful little book (0/0 people found this helpful)
A useful small size book. I am training to be a floral demonstrator,this is handy to carry around. Feel it could be a little more comprehensive.
