This sounded like such a good idea, but it has not been carried out well.
The start of each walk gives a bit of information, but only a bit. A sketch map of the route would be really helpful. The directions are often quite vague, and even if you would still need good maps, at least figuring out
Some of the routes mention public transportation, but all of them should have it, and right up there at the beginning, not hidden in the general text.
It would also be helpful to mention whether or not the route is suitable for those dependant on wheels. Wheelchairs, walkers, and baby buggies are not easy to use on routes with stairs, gravel and rough paths. Generally there is some indication of this buried in the text, but a sentence in the introduction would be helpful.
Much of the flora described fluctuates a lot. Generally what is described is only visible in a certain season. The things to look out for in other seasons is often forgotten. Also the plantings in various parks and along streets varies a lot from year to year. You can't count on seeing this year what the author saw one or two years earlier.
There is a lot of interesting botanical trivia in here, but it might be hard to find again. The index is very limited.
