reccomended plant science educational books to read

9 years ago

Hey everyone, looking for some plant science book recommendations I can pick up at the local library. I'm not currently a student but I'm 21 and have 7 years of nursery experience I've worked my way up to a growers position at my current job which is 7acres of greenhouses. I would like to expand my knowledge broadly through reading. What are some good advanced books that cover a variety of plant science core topics I should be reading that will expand my knowledge greatly?
Much appreciated, thank you.
