A nice meditative book with great wisdom and appreciation for plants.
It helps you feel more connected to nature.
The design, perhaps because this was an ARC, could have been more nuanced and fresh.
3.5 stars.

This is the kind of book you give someone who already has a deep love of plants and wants a better knowledge. The pictures were beautiful and overall I really enjoyed reading this.
