Synopsis

With the highest floral diversity in New England, Massachusetts is a great place to learn about plants. There are over 2200 species to sift through, so it helps to get to know the most familiar plants first to gain a solid foundation of knowledge. This is why it is invaluable to have a portable reference like Massachusetts Trees & Wildflowers to help cut through the clutter. This beautifully illustrated collection features 140 common trees, shrubs, and wildflowers—including state flower Trailing Arbutus or “Mayflower”—as well as an ecoregion map showing over 20 botanical sanctuaries and learning sites. Laminated for durability, this lightweight, 12-panel folding pocket guide is the perfect companion for educators, learners, naturalists, and botanists who wish to forge a deeper connection with the land through it attendant plants. Made in the USA.
