All about the why and how
Sowing, planting, watering… small gestures of great simplicity, which nevertheless raise many questions. For good reason: you just need to dig a little deeper into the subject to unearth a range of possibilities. Everything to spark passion in a curious mind. After delving into the science of spices and cooking, science popularizer Stuart Farrimond now tours the garden with the concision and clarity that make his mark. The author brings together the main knowledge in gardening and works to demystify it in the light of scientific foundations. Beautifully illustrated, The science of gardening is a great reference work for getting started with gardening from a sustainable development perspective or updating your knowledge.
