"This outstanding series is especially recommended for school and community libraries as being of special interest and value for children and adults with an interest in gardening and its flora/fauna ecosystems through all four seasons of the year." The Midwest Book Review
"From opening scenes to the ending, a viewer will enjoy the study of weevils...Introductory science or biology classes, as well as advanced study groups in entomology, botany, and zoology, could benefit from seeing this video.
