I accidentally purchased this book twice for my son for Christmas from two different retailers. We gave a copy to our niece as well. Both are in their late teens and have a recent interest in house-plants. They both started reading right away during Christmas celebrations.
This was a gift for a co-worker, she absolutely loved it! Finally made my boring gift giving exciting, fun, one of a kind!
Great book filled with pertinent info for a plant neophyte, like me.
Very informative book. Love all of the pictures!
