| Presented in a portable, flexible-bound paperback format with an elastic closure, Portable Latin for Gardeners is a distillation of our previous co-publication with Quid, Latin for Gardeners by Lorraine Harrison in fall 2012. In order to cultivate spectacular gardens one need not necessarily posses an appreciation for Loeb editions, but knowing those esoteric names behind the rose or hellebore in Latin brings about a greater appreciation to accompany your dirty, earth-smelling fingernails. Without that knowledge, you might acquire a hellebores foetidus without realizing the fetid smell it will emit, or that the Potentilla reptans you hoped would stand tall as a sentinel will only creep along as ground cover. Having a basic understanding of Latin before trips to the garden store or botanic garden is similar to possessing some knowledge of French before traveling to France--it enriches the entire experience. But with this portable edition, there is no need to fear the forgetful mind as you can bring it to the garden store or botanic garden with you. Portable Latin for Gardeners is a great reference work intended for gardeners and green-thumbs alike or as wonderful gift for them as well. |
