The book is as thick as a textbook. The writing is awful to read, it’s very wordy and the font is small. The paragraphs are filled with a mix of different observations, and doesn’t help when you just want some simple answers quick. It covers different types of flowers, vegetables, trees, bushes, weeds, pests, but the details aren’t all there. The illustrations are lacking and mainly pencil drawings which would be more useful if they were bigger.
