Reddit reviews A Peterson Field Guide to Wildflowers: Northeastern and North-central North America (Peterson Field Guides)

I love reading this stuff too. I’m a very outdoorsy person. So, if you want a nice non portable book about trees, there’s the david allen Sisley guide to trees. For portable, there are a lot more. The Audubon book is good, it just hasn’t been updated in a longtime. The Peterson guide is more recent and is good also. I’ll try to think of the books we have. My mom has a lot and has ones from her parents too. One that’s good is the national wildlife federation book on wildflowers. A new book that cool is one called wildflowers of the Appalachian trail. On trees, I really like an old edition of the golden guide to trees that we have. The Audubon guide to eastern us trees is good. I think Peterson is better than Audubon though. There is also a forestry department book on trees of around here that I have from middle school. Don’t worry, I’ll provide links to these books.

I’m going to post again once I go look at our bookshelf. This was just off the top of my head. Oh and it’s not a field guide, but you should read a walk in the woods by bill bryson.

Sending lots of love and light to you today. <3 It's been 8 months since my mom passed away, and there's a million things I loved about her. But one thing I'm most grateful for is her instilling a love and appreciation of nature in me. Especially since I can now find solace and peace in the outdoors when I'm feeling down and missing her. And it's something I'm able to pass down to my own children.

Here's a photo of her scouting out some mushrooms with my oldest daughter a few years ago.

Book: Field Guild to Wildflowers (a used copy is just fine!)
