Review
This is a good book to have and refer to before buying a plant. It's full of surprising facts and information about many plants which are commonly known. It'll keep you from growing a poisonous plant/tree that has the potential to kill your child or pet. I have found the book to be concise yet extremely informative. It gets to the point about: its botanical name, description, family origin/history, habitat, native to, and common names. Although the illustrations are pleasing, I sure wish it had actual color pictures of the plants. Overall I'd definitely recommend this book to all, especially gardeners, home owners, parents, school officials, plant nurseries etc. I also think this book should be in every Emergency Department, Poison Center, and Office that gives advice to children and adults who have come in contact or ingested plants that are potentially toxic.
