Botany for Gardeners | The New Shade Garden | Latin for Gardeners | A Gardener's Handbook of Plant Names | Plant Identification Terminology
Without presupposing the knowledge of even "high school" Latin, this charming volume demystifies plant nomenclature. Key Latinate words are translated into English. Cumbersome names are rendered easy to pronounce, usually providing indications of the plant's normal habitat, flowering periods, leaf patterns, and all sorts of other useful information.
A Gardener's Latin is more reference tool than plain dictionary, with beautiful watercolor-collage illustrations. An introduction explains how plants are classified, then lists plants' names. Following pages focus on colors, flower and leaf shapes, fragrance, size, indigenous country, and so forth.
A thoughtful gift to tillers of the soil, A Gardener's Latinwill be well appreciated by novices and experts alike.
