![]() ![]() It answered questions I didn't even know I had, and the favourite plants chapter had factsheets that were so helpful I took a picture of a couple of them, even though most of the plants mentioned are not at all my thing (again, very focused on the Instagram, modern, minimalist aesthetic I'm more about florals, herbs and weird gothy plants.) I did learn a lot from reading this, certainly more than I would have thought from the length and picture-heavy nature of it, and the star rating (3.5) is almost entirely down to that. As someone with zero knowledge of plants (very much the audience for this book) this was supremely unhelpful and confusing. ![]() All the plant names are in Latin (which I like but would prefer more colloquial names too), and although almost every plant pictured is helpfully labelled nowhere does it tell you which name in the list goes with which plant. It is picture heavy, short, has a lot of chapters, a very specific #aesthetic, and no long blocks of text. It's neither quite what I was looking for or what I expected, though. ![]() It isn't bad, necessarily, and for some people the nods to an online community and photo tips are probably very helpful, but it's not so much my thing - my Instagram is shit and I have every intention of keeping it that way. ![]() This book is quite social media friendly, which I wasn't expecting because I had no idea of the authors beforehand. ![]()
