Plant Guide for Beginners was awesome!
I have so enjoyed reviewing my guide while sitting in my garden chair at the bog. I created a "mini" bog with 2 baby pools, peat moss, purchased plants, etc. The guide has been so helpful to have a more comprehensive understanding of the plants. Thank you so much!

Absolutely awesome
I bought 4 Sundays from you guys and they have been absolutely awesome. They're growing well outside in the Florida weather and are beginning to thrive as they are shooting up new leaves every few days. They arrived happy and healthy and so far have continued to do so.

Digital Download for Beginners
The informatiion was good/great. I thought I Would use it more than I did because the plants I ordered were for gifts. Didn't know how I could order it in book form. *** RESPONSE BY SARRACENIA NORTHWEST *** Thank you for reading the ebook! Yes, we would have loved to print this in physical form, but with the amount of photos we wanted to use to illustrate many of the issues we discuss in it, the price of the book would have been too high. We opted for a digital format to keep the cost down without sacrificing the information we wanted to convey.
