One of my great bucket list wishes is to create my own physick garden, so I was excited to dive into this book. It did not disappoint! The illustrations were gorgeous. Opposite each illustration, they summarize a specific plant (other common names, uses, history). Some might find them to be too brief to be very useful, but I think this book makes a fantastic starting off point for anyone interested in creating their own physick garden, or anyone just interested in plants and their many uses. This would definitely make a splendid gift, and gets two thumbs up from this reviewer!
