Bless you for making this info available on youtube ... i have been brought to tears unable to afford a course n felt completely overwhelmed. Been trying to learn by myself off n on for several years to no avail. This feels like a HUGE breakthrough for me

[@kenayanflame]

OMG!! I loved this video. When you first opened the book while sitting in front of the brick wall it reminded me of the school in the village i attended in Kenya. We used to learn about plants in this way, the teacher would take the whole class outside to look at the plants. Not to mention it's a coffee and substance farming region so listening to you talk about the plants i grew up with in a scientific way is almost tear jerking. Kids in developed countries miss so much of life! side note, I finally got some bougainvilleas, two of them, I hope they survive my patio tonight(freezing temps)... never thought that would be a problem in Texas. Excellent video.

[@OfftoShambala]

FYI… I live in the phx arizona desert… in the ground, bougs get freeze damage above, but you just cut it off and after feb 15, it takes a few months for it to look like nothing ever happened… keep the roots in your pot warm… but if the plant is located near the house, it should be fine when there is a freeze… we get an average of ten freezes or frosts every year at night… usually plants like Lantana and boug can also be covered w a cloth on those nights to mitigate top leaf damage. It’s been said that the cloth should not touch the leaves, but it def works ok enough most of the time. Hope your bougs are ok! And yes it’s very sad that the kids in the western world, and most indians and Asians… are super unaware of the plant world. They are absolutely clueless about the natural world.

Hands down the best plant identification book I've ever had. Been trying to learn plant identification for 3 yrs now. I've only bought I.D. books and never took a class (can't afford it).

[@geezerdombroadcast]

Very helpful, very encouraging. For non botanists, the complexities of flower identification especially edible wild plants seems overwhelming. Like so many challenges in life, breaking them into recognizable patterns/groups makes learning manageable. Making a good video, requires lots of preparation of graphics, and subject matter arrangement, lighting, careful sound recording, and camera direction. "It is tough!" "I know" This was a great video that could be a lot better if the camera stayed focused "closely" on each picture for a "pregnant moment". I say that because it sends a signal to the viewer. This image is important to observe closely. Each time a critical leap of new information comes along it's important to define it carefully distinctly to isolate the new concept. The card games are a great tool. Please do more. Millions of us crave new understanding. life only has so many days to take it all in. We need your help. Thanks.

Thanks for your video, interesting, relaxing and fun. I don't have kids, but I still love the idea of your cards and kids book. Nice Job! I think I'll have to buy all three!

My great grandmother was like your grandmother. She had a lot of kids and taught them all about gardening, wild herbs, what heals and what you can eat. My grandfather still lives by this and thats how my mom grew up. Id love to become a botanist or plant-biologist. Im in pennsylvania, can you recommend any good programs for me? Im especially interested in medicinal plants and teas.

[@alexanderanderson5619]

I work in amazon and have come across your book before. You just sold another
