Stop guessing what your plants need. Learn how they actually grow.
When you understand how plants function — from photosynthesis to root absorption — you make smarter decisions in every season. Plant Science for Gardeners connects plant biology directly to practical gardening success.
Instead of memorizing tips, you'll understand the systems that drive healthy growth.
What You'll Gain
- How photosynthesis and respiration fuel plant development
- How roots absorb and distribute nutrients efficiently
- What triggers flowering and fruit production
- How plants respond to stress from heat, drought, or pests
- Why pruning and fertilizing strategies succeed or fail
Rather than abstract theory, this guide gives you the biological foundation behind everyday gardening decisions.
Practical Applications
- Improve flowering and fruit yield
- Adjust watering based on plant physiology
- Strengthen root systems for resilience
- Reduce plant stress through informed care
- Make evidence-based pruning decisions
If you're looking for practical ways to grow healthier plants without relying on trends, this book provides clarity rooted in modern botany.
Who This Book Is For
- Gardeners who want deeper understanding
- Growers seeking consistent yields
- Market gardeners refining crop performance
- Readers frustrated by conflicting advice
- Anyone ready to connect biology with better growing
Grow with understanding. Cultivate with confidence.
