A very good regional plant guide for amateur flower lovers.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Plants of the Coast Redwood Region (Paperback)
This book has nicely reproduced pictures, classification, and very readable and informative text on many of the trees and flowers of the northern coast of California. The text includes description, natural history, and special notes regarding native American uses of plants, edibility, or cautions regarding poisonous plants. Very nicely done!

Excellent and accurate,
By A Customer
This review is from: Plants of the Coast Redwood Region (Paperback)
I moved ten years ago to the Santa Cruz Mountains, and have found this book invaluable in helping me to identify and appreciate plants and trees on our property, particularly how they were used as medicines or as raw material for baskets, structures etc by the native Ohlone people. Also, her discussion about exotic, invasive species has motivated us to eradicate the invasive french broom and star thistle that were taking over our land. Now many of the native species she describes are returning.

Excellent survey,
By A Customer
This review is from: Plants of the Coast Redwood Region (Paperback)
This little book is an excellent survey of the most common plants in the redwood region. Definitely a wonderful introduction for beginning students of these plants. The book helps to identify these organisms at the same time as it adds some interesting information about each plant. Highly recommended. It appears as it now is out of print which is a pity. Please bring it back!
