Topic of choice the book had very intrigued me to pick it up, about the use of native plants on a large scale , but found the author’s format was not as engaging and borderline surface level . It would’ve been easier if these chapters were more written as a case study format style and focus one project in whole vs switching back and forth in an almost reflective conversation style .
I am sure others will get more out if the book , and maybe possible my premonition of what the book was going to be not be as disappointing. I just found the format very boring
