Roadtrip for botanists!

Alright plant geeks, get out your atlases, Wiggers has set up a terrific travel itinerary! I initially bought the Plant Explorer's Guide to New England in an attempt to find a comprehensive Northeast native plant guide. It isn't. It is, however, a very handy roadtrip guide and gives specific sites and seasons for seeing Northeastern plants in all of their glory. Covering Maine to Connecticut, with 54 illustrated driving and walking tours. The maps are easy to follow if you have a nice state route and the text is informative, though I found it a bit dull at times. Pack this in your car with your plant id guides for a long weekend drive.
