Publisher's Synopsis
This is the long, catalog/marketing description of the product.
The small but biodiverse state of New Jersey hosts over 2000 species of plants, include state flower Common Blue Violet. A diverse array of ecosystems, including pine forests, hardwood forests, freshwater marshes, salt marshes, and seashore support a unique assemblage of plants, making the Garden State an ideal place to study and learn about plants. For many people, plants represent a major aspect of a landscape's character, yet it can be challenging to get acquainted with so many species. Narrowing down to the most familiar ones is a useful exercise, and it helps to have a resource on hand to allow you to do so. The portable reference New Jersey Trees & Wildflowers features beautiful illustrations of 140 common trees, shrubs, and wildflowers 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 ideal tool for educators, learners, naturalists, and botanists to familiarize themselves with common plants and peer more closely into their fascinating lives. Made in the USA.
