5.0 out of 5 stars Attention Plant Addicts!, July 9, 2001

By	"lodygal" (Miami, Fl. United States) - See all my reviews

As a horticulturist who is always looking for the unusual and hard to find plant, I found this guide to be an treasure. The authors divide the nurseries down by geographical sections, and then break each nursery down into whether they are wholesale/retail/mail order, plant specialties, brief history/description, how to get there and general information. Also covered are Horticultural Attractions and a list of plant societies. If your a plant nut like me, make sure you add this book to your collection.
