Review:
Firstly thank you to Love Books Tours, LOM ART and Liz Marvin for having me on this blog tour and for sending me a copy of the book to review. It's a stunning book, the illustrations are unbelievably beautiful.Even if there was nothing else you liked about this book its worth having it on your shelf for the illustrations alone! But the book itself is brilliant too, i read it cover to cover but i think its much more a dip in when you feel like it kind of book. Its the kind of book where you'd grab it and randomly flick to a page to see what wisdom and stories its going to give you today. The flower facts were really interesting and i learnt about flowers i didn't know existed, whilst i do enjoy gardening my knowledge is by no means extensive so i also learnt about the flowers i was aware of.
I loved the language used in it too, it felt kind of soothing, which i know is an odd thing to say about writing but its true. Its a book that i think would be a lovely gift, especially for a gardener but i think anyone would enjoy its soothing effects.
