Free Downloads A Botanist's Vocabulary: 1300 Terms Explained And Illustrated (Science For Gardeners)
For anyone looking for a deeper appreciation of the wonderful world of plants! Gardeners are inherently curious. They make note of a plant label in a botanical garden and then go home to learn more. They pick up fallen blossoms to examine them closer. They spend hours reading plant catalogs. But they are often unable to accurately name or describe their discoveries. A Botanist’s Vocabulary gives gardeners and naturalists a better understanding of what they see and a way to categorize and organize the natural world in which they are so intimately involved. Through concise definitions and detailed black and white illustrations, it defines 1300 words commonly used by botanists, naturalists, and gardeners to describe plants.

This is a valuable resource for anyone with an interest in, and a love of, the plant world. The illustrations are clearly and beautifully drawn and in many cases can stand alone to define the term. Highly recommended for gardeners, botanists, naturalists, and anyone needing a clear understanding of botanical terminology.
Wonderful, clear drawings and brief descriptions of hundreds of botanical terms. Even someone who knows about plants and their parts will learn many new words. For those tiny bits, especially. Excellent for pointing out the smaller details of plants and flowers, and make one better at noticing and appreciating the wonder of the botanical world.
I have pre-ordered the book and will update this review when it's in. But the first author is an exceedingly experienced botanist who has taught countless other plant lovers of all persuasions, the nuances of plant morphology. I know her to be a gifted ambassador for plants, and I look forward to getting my hands on this book!
