A Must-Have for Every Gardener!

From "abaxial" to "zygote", this book contains just about every gardening-related term you can think of. The definitions are written in real English: not scientific jargon that you need another dictionary to decipher. It's clear that the author is a gardener herself! I also liked the extensive index with drawings to illustrate various leaf shapes, flower forms, insects, and other things that are easier to show than define. Best of all, the written entries are in clear, easy-to-read type; they're not crammed in or set in tiny type that's hard to read. This handy reference belongs on every gardener's bookshelf!
