There is a chemistry between these friends and it is so refreshing :) The humor in the book might not be for everyone, but perhaps some children can relate to it. I hope the author will edit the book and bring more clarifications on the terms used; that way young readers will learn more about botany.

I liked how you highlighted the quiet scene between the friends. Sometimes those simple moments feel the most real. The mix of gardening tips and campus life sounds unique, even if some of the humour doesn’t always land.

"Botany with Friends" sounds like a heartwarming story about friendship, growth, and learning. I’m curious to see how the Green Guardians develop their garden and bond over the semester! Interesting review!

Well, it appears that apart from the humor that sounds forced, the book is interesting to read. I would not also have thought a mundane conversation that would entail planning for the future would be of much interest, but it appears the author exceeded expectations here.
The camaraderie in "Botany with Friends" by Troy Aikins is genuinely inspiring. As a fellow gardener, I'm always on the lookout for tips to improve my yield. Your honest review has been invaluable.
