Best book to start learning about Botany
Preston H. - 6 years 2 months agoThis an excellent introductory lesson into the field of botany. I had no previous knowledge of plants with or without flowers previous to reading through this. I'm just an amateur who learns for fun, but this will be the perfect reference guide for many years to come! Very detailed information on families and the genera with illustrated pictures for guidance. It also talks about evolution and history of plants which is super important. Overall, excellent resource guide and if plants interest you then buy it! It's not the end all be all, but great for those starting out.
