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

Just got the book today, and I adore the quality to it. Drawn pictures and photos to accompany, the details are amazing, and it is just lovely to read! I hope one day I will be able to visit the garden, until then, I will enjoy the light, aesthetically pleasing read. It will also help me when I go out to appreciate and avoid stuff around my area :3

Lovely book, I have only dipped in and out but it looks as if it has a wealth of information – beautiful illustrations and supporting photographs. I ordered direcetly from the gift shop and it arrived promptly and in excellent condition. Thank you – maybe one day I’ll get to see all the interesting plants at Alnwick.
