Answer 2

Go to your local library and check out a flower , plant book for up to 2 weeks, FREE and take it to work with you. Your library has lots of gardening books and you are sure to find one with the pictures you need.

Answer 3

I would visit a book store and get a referance book on plants, the problem is that unless you can remember many botanical species there may be hundreds more that may not be listed in all books, the best thing may be to start of by finding what species of plants can be grown in the zone where you work, the only problem with that is that allot of your customers may want annuals and then the need for more infromation will exist. learn the basic, what are , shrubs, connifers, diciduouse, evergreen, vine, bulbs, grasses, ornimental and the list goes on and on

Answer 4
