A Naturalist’s Guide to the Garden Flowers of India

This book gives a neat representation of common garden plants with botanical names, description, habitat, uses and etymology. Going through the colour photos and reading the short hints provide an enriching reading experience, through the garden. Good gift for those enjoy gardening as a hobby.

Enjoyed reading this and finding out more about the ones I love, making a wish list and how many flowering plants from this list I have tried to grow so far and how many survived etc. I was hoping to find more details of how best to care for them but there was very little of that apart from a few lines on the amount of sun and water they prefer etc . But still, it’s something I might buy again as a gift for a fellow plant lover and my mom.

This book is a delight! The information on flowers is engaging and the pictures are spectacular. The compact size is perfect to carry around during visits to gardens or nurseries. The information in the book is so captivating, it has inspired us a start our own tiny garden. It's a perfect guide book for novices who are interested in flowers, gardens etc (such as ourselves). At the same time, it collates all necessary information for experienced gardeners. If you are looking for a book on flowers, this one is not to be missed.

thorough bright coverage a delight to browse and as avaluable sourece of all the floers

A very well put together guide giving just the right amount of information without overwhelming the reader with text. Makes it easy for all to read and refer to. This little guide book will definitely be in my sling bag, right next to ‘The Trees and Shrubs of India’ - also authored by Pradeep Sachdeva and Vidya Tongbram on all my Nature walks. Look forward to the next one...maybe on the abundantly found medicinal herbs found in this region!

Good pictures but print is too small.It is not a coffee table book and all garden flowers are not covered

Well illustrated coffee table book

Could have been more inclusive...although in itself the book in good enough for non academic enthusiasts...
