Fascinating book. Beautifully illustrated. Full of interesting stories. Excellent for identifying which plants to avoid touching when out for a country walk, and which to avoid in your own garden!! Quite an eye-opener.

A fabulous book that is very incitful about the plants and their uses as well as the poisons.
I already have the book after visiting All the gardens. So I have bought again as a Yuletide gift for a 15 year old Herbalist student
