Really Enjoyed It!

I wasn't sure what to expect from this book but I was very pleasantly surprised. I have really enjoyed reading it! It was well written with a upbeat sort of tone, organized well, had lovely drawings to accompany the writing and was just all around easy to read. Full of old folk tales, myths/legends and generally good knowledge about plants, I was shocked to learn just how many of the plants in my own yard were some level of toxic. You'll be wrapped in good stories about each plant while also learning a bit of knowledge.
