The most visual dependant Great Course audiobook

Normally I'm a fan of the audiobooks by The Great Courses Plus even though they make reference to slides and visuals. It's still normally possible to grasp most of the content, as the visuals just serve as supports. In this case, the visuals are fundamental to the course. It is less background slides, as an experienced gardener showing you visuals and providing explanations of the visuals. Common plants, flowers, fruits, and vegetables. Growing techniques she's employed (which are primarily photos with her pointing out parts of the photo).

Would likely be really good for new gardeners if you can view the video, but this is the most visually dependant audiobook I've ever heard. I would not recommend this book in audio format.

would be better to watch as a video

I enjoyed listening to this speaker. I wish I could see her demonstrations that she did, as without the visible instructions, you can only imagine what she is trying to explain.

very informative

I loved this, however there is a tonne of reference to visuals which makes understanding the content a little less easy.
