Botany for Gardeners

Product Information

While perhaps not as compelling as David Attenborough's The Private Life of Plants, Botany for Gardeners had much more of the basic how-plants-work knowledge that I was seeking at the moment. Attenborough's book focuses on the really incredible natural history of plants all around the world, rather than their basic biology. If you're really interested in plants, I'd suggest you read both, but start with this one.

I would definitely get this book for school and college. I love how informative the content is with all the relevant details including the microscopic views. A must keep if you need a good up-to-date textbook on plants. Like a highly readable textbook, elegant in its thoroughness. I was skeptical at first how studying these biological processes (some of which I already knew about) was going to translate into gardening but I learned so much! It filled all kinds of gaps and reorganized my understanding of biology into more useful structures.

I was reading this book for an hour at a time sitting in the front garden, luxuriating in the subtropical winter sunshine, so I could leap up and examine leaves and stems as needed or just contemplate the plants around me in a new light.Hachette Book Group is a leading book publisher based in New York and a division of Hachette Livre, the third-largest publisher in the world.
