The native flora of North America has a rich history: Used by Native Americans for everything from food to medicine to materials for weaving baskets and cords, even the most unassuming little plants could be essential for survival. Botanist and botanical artist Laura C. Martin guides us on a tour of eighty-five different native plants, profiled with illustrations and details about each one, including bloom time, habitat and range, conservation status, cultivation requirements, medicinal uses, and even folklore. With advice for how to best prep your own garden; how to forage for, cook with, and craft with native wildflowers; and how to help children fall in love with plants, A Naturalist's Book of Wildflowers is a great guide for armchair botanists and expert gardeners alike!
