Any books/articles on plants/architecture/clothing/terrain I need to read to improve my writing?
I often have a hard time describing these things because I don't know the terminology.

Get a reference book for the area about which you're writing. Municipal websites often have information on the types of trees you'll find in the city. Any general reference book so you can get the name. One trick that usually wins over publishers and pseuds is lists of the proper names of botanical features, more than any particular description of the actual genii. Also, a classic way to start a book and make people think you know what you're talking about run, "such and such town appeared to us among rolling foothills as we crested (mountain name). The so-and-so valley had been carved deep into named region at the end of the last this-and-thatzoic era, leaving behind only faint traces in name brand river, upon which settlers began whatever economic activity in general medieval year blah blah blah." Just fill in the blanks with official sciences and accurate geographical shit you look up online.
