The Bluegrass State, Kentucky, provides an abundant environment for horticulture enthusiasts. Kentucky's temperate climate, varied topography, and fertile soil collectively establish it as an optimal location for an extensive array of horticultural pursuits. Kentucky's thriving horticultural community offers something for everyone, from novices to seasoned professionals. Climate and Zones of Growth: The climate of Kentucky is classified as moderate, featuring four distinct seasons. The state is geographically classified into multiple USDA hardiness zones, with Zone 7b situated in the southernmost part and Zone 6a in the northernmost. The presence of this diversity fosters the flourishing of an assortment of plant species, spanning from early spring cool-season crops such as lettuce and spinach to summer warm-season staples like peppers and tomatoes. Kentucky's fertile soil is the result of millennia of sediment deposition resulting from the region's extensive geological past. The state's diverse soil composition, which consists of loam, clay, and silt, provides an extensive range of conditions for cultivators to cultivate an array of plant species. Furthermore, Kentucky's varied topography, which includes undulating hills, estuaries, and foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, offers distinct microclimates that are conducive to specialized horticulture endeavors.

Plant Life of Kentucky is the first comprehensive guide to all the ferns, flowering herbs, and woody plants of the state. This long-awaited work provides identification keys for Kentucky’s 2,600 native and naturalized vascular plants, with notes on wildlife/human uses, poisonous plants, and medicinal herbs. The common name, flowering period, habitat, distribution, rarity, and wetland status are given for each species, and about 80 percent are illustrated with line drawings. The inclusion of 250 additional species from outside the state (these species are “to be expected” in Kentucky) broadens the regional coverage, and most plants occurring from northern Alabama to southern Ohio to the Mississippi River (an area of wide similarity in flora) are examined, including nearly all the plants of western and central Tennessee. The author also describes prehistoric and historical changes in the flora, natural regions and plant communities, significant botanists, current threats to plant life, and a plan for future studies. Plant Life of Kentucky is intended as a research tool for professionals in biology and related fields, and as a resource for students, amateur naturalists, and others interested in understanding and preserving our rich botanical heritage.
