| Book Description | Most conventional gardening books concentrate on how and when to carry out horticultural tasks such as pruning, seed sowing and taking cuttings. Science and the Garden, Third Edition is unique in explaining in straightforward terms some of the science that underlies these practices. It is principally a book of 'Why' Why are plants green? Why do some plants only flower in the autumn? Why do lateral buds begin to grow when the terminal bud is removed by pruning? Why are some plants successful as weeds? Why does climate variability and change mean change for gardeners? But it also goes on to deal with the 'How', providing rationale behind the practical advice. |
| Editorial Review | A key book for those sitting their RHS examinations, but should also interest those gardeners interested in the science ... I guarantee you will learn quite a few things you never knew. ("The Professional Gardener," October 2008) "This book has wide application due to its wide scope and lack of highly technical language. Color photos, diagrams, and text boxes are very helpful, as is an extensive glossary." ("Southeastern Naturalist," Volume 7, Issue 3) |
