Science and the Garden by David S Ingram
Why are plants green? Why cut beneath a leaf node when taking cuttings? Why do plants need so much water? Science and the Garden, 2e takes the 'Why' of gardening and provides the reader with a uniquely straightforward approach to the underpinning scientific answers and rationale behind the practical advice.
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)
