Hot Brands Verdict
Knowing the names of wild flowers is something of a mystery for many of us, we look out of the windows of the car at the end of a drive from city to the country, particularly at this time of year, and see a wonderful profusion of colour in the hedgerow. Actually knowing the names of the flowers is something that may present more of a challenge.

This book is beautifully illustrated; there are over 1900 different descriptions, what is amazing and fun for the children is that many of these plants can be found in our town and city gardens as well as in the country. This comprehensive book is the solution to building our knowledge and also helping our children become more knowledgeable about our wonderful floral heritage. Highly Recommended!
