Review # 1 was written on 2013-04-13 00:00:00 Cokkk Sffdffdd The illustrations are beautiful and the accompanying short texts on each plant are accurate and informative. It's a book that can be read cover to cover or browsed in at leisure, and even used as a reference, though the latter is definitely not its primary function; the entries on each plant aren't detailed enough for that. However, it has one drawback, and that is its format. Even for a coffee-table book, which is what it's meant to be, it's huge. You really do have to sit down at the kitchen table to read it.

The illustrations are gathered from the Royal Horticultural Society’s Lindley Library and the history explained in the book expands over 500 years.
