Often information from two different sources is conflicting. Very often the knowledge is spotty, and is not organized well for good understanding. However with a book like Brian Capon's <i>Botany for Gardeners</i> we can gain a complete and accurate picture of the world of plant science and gain the power to move our gardening to another level. Written for the layman, an excellent volume for both the beginner and the passionate enthusiast, this book is a very readable text that will enhance your appreciation of your gardening experience.
