Through the Seasons (A Botanical Odyssey of the Native Plants of the Northeast)

A culmination of a decade of exploration, Through the Seasons is a comprehensive photographic guidebook documenting the native flora of the northeastern US. With his meticulous eye and honed naturalist’s instincts, Mike Adamovic shares his findings on his travels through New England, New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey—resulting in a beautiful quick-reference that captures a wide range of species, from common to rare, across diverse habitats, from alpine peaks to coastal saltmarshes.

Organized by habitat and season, this guide offers a visual record of native plants in their natural environments, serving as both a phenological reference and an encyclopedia of species. Beyond field use, this guidebook provides valuable insights for improving landscaping conditions and understanding which plants can thrive in cultivation.

Adamovic also underscores the importance of preserving native plants, detailing for readers how they support wildlife and insects that are essential for ecosystem balance. By fostering an appreciation for these species and their seasonal roles, Through the Seasons encourages more sustainable practices for a healthier natural environment.
