Botany in a Day: The Patterns Method of Plant Identification: An Herbal Field Guide to Plant Families of North America

Author: Thomas J. Elpel
Stars: 5
Review by: Saraswati

I had to read this book as part of a class I am taking, but I really enjoyed using the guide and information.  The book provides a brief biology course about plants at the beginning, but the majority of the book is a key to help you ID plants.  I had a great time searching out the unknown plants around my home. The funny part was finding out that my herb garden contained mostly plants from the mint family even though I thought I had a pretty diverse garden.  A very fun book!
