An Annual for Reading

For the scientifically challenged like me, you cannot beat this little book for learning about botany. Did I say "botany"? I mean gardening, i.e., applied botany. Amato writes like a breeze, teaching the reader everything he or she needs to know to make plants grow. The text is simple and concise, knowledge a plenty. No botanical bookstore should be without this gem. Teachers, here's your companion text for any class garden!!!!
This is a GREAT book for a gardener

I enjoyed this book very much. It has a lot of facts and is very intertaining too. I learned a lot, like Snapdragon are from the Mediterranean, which I did not know. If you want to try experiments and learn a lot about science in the garden, buy this book.
