Her innovative approach to growing in full sun results in pansies with long stems, breathtaking fragrance, and unique color. With the instincts of a collector, Brenna encourages gardeners and flower enthusiasts to see the pansy as a reliable, elegant showstopper flower that brings drama, whimsy, and diversity to every garden and arrangement.

I was astounded by this book's ability to be as informational as it is beautiful.

With art and photography of high enough quality I want to frame it, this would make an adorable coffee table or waiting room book.

Some of the specificities Brenna Estrada included I wouldn't have thought to ponder in a million years. The differences in personality as cut flowers from cultivar to cultivar, the nuances in each bloom's fragrance. This could be enjoyed by anyone interested in pansies - seasoned gardener or not. I'd personally throw in a pack or two of pansy seeds and make it the perfect gift!

{Thank you bunches to NetGalley, Brenna Estrana and publisher for the eARC in exchange for my honest review!}
