Booklist - 07/01/2018 Ubiquitous author and illustrator Gibbons turns her pen to the topic of flowers: where they grow, how they are pollinated, who studies them, and why we love them. The beginning of the book focuses on the science of flowers, before moving on to gardening as an activity. The pages are jam-packed with illustrations rendered in black ink, watercolor, and colored pencil and extensively labeled, which provides a visual feast, though the text is sometimes overwhelmed. Gibbons devotes several pages to the parts of flowers and explanations of how climate, environment, and wildlife can affect a flower’s life cycle. The idea of gardening as a community activity, rather than a solitary task, is reinforced by illustrations of people tending gardens together, harvesting fruit, and sharing potted plants and cut bouquets. The people involved are mostly adults, but a picture of a school garden shows that kids can get in on the fun as well. Colorful, informative, and varied, this book is suited for all library collections. - Copyright 2018 Booklist.
