Fickle plants make seemingly spontaneous decisions to bloom or bust, seeds sprout magically in the blink of an eye, and deep-rooted mysteries unfold underground and out of sight. Understanding basic botany is like unlocking a horticultural code; fortunately learning a little science can reveal the secrets of the botanical universe and shed some light on what’s really going on in your garden. Practical Botany for Gardeners provides an elegant and accessible introduction to the world of botany. It presents the essentials that every gardener needs to know, connecting explanations of scientific facts with useful gardening tips. Flip to the roots section and you’ll not only learn how different types of roots support a plant but also find that adding fungi to soil aids growth. The pruning section both defines “lateral buds” and explains how far back on a shoot to cut in order to propagate them. The book breaks down key areas and terminology with easy-to-navigate chapters arranged by theme, such as plant types, plant parts, inner workings, and external factors. “Great Botanists” and “Botany in Action” boxes delve deeper into the fascinating byways of plant science. This multifaceted book also includes two hundred botanical illustrations and basic diagrams that hearken to the classic roots of botany. Part handbook, part reference, Practical Botany for Gardeners is a beautifully captivating read. It’s a must for garden lovers and backyard botanists who want to grow and nurture their own plant knowledge. Review: Art and science crafted together - This book is absolutely stunning. It’s a beautiful mix of artwork and science combined to make an easy read of the plant world. The artwork in the book is beautiful, the pages have a worn in feel to them, I feel as if I’m reading a botanists secret diary. Everything is well labeled, this book can be read through, as a chapter book, or picked up to flip through when you need a quick answer on how to get rid of pests or knowing when to prune. I’m absolutely obsessed with this book ( as if my review didn’t give it away). Zero hesitation, buy this beautiful book! Review: EVERYTHING YOU EVER DREAMED OF - Not only are the illustrations so beautiful, I love that it helps grow my knowledge about plants. It's a nice coffee table accessory as well.
