Plant Science for Gardeners is a comprehensive guide that empowers gardeners to analyze common problems, find solutions, and make better decisions in their gardens for optimal plant health and productivity. While most gardeners learn through accumulating rules such as watering once a week, never drying out snowdrop bulbs, pruning lilacs after flowering, and planting garlic in October, these rules can be overwhelming and leave gardeners floundering when unexpected challenges arise.

However, there is a better way. By understanding the basic biology of how plants grow, gardeners can become thinking gardeners with the confidence to problem-solve for optimized plant health and productivity. This guide covers a wide range of topics, including the biology of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers, understanding how plants function as whole organisms, the role of nutrients and inputs, vegetables, flowers, grasses, trees, and shrubs, propagation and genetics, and sidebars that explode common gardening myths.

Whether you are a home gardener, micro-farmer, market gardener, or homesteader, this entertaining and accessible guide will shorten the learning curve and give you the knowledge to succeed, no matter where you live.

In recognition of its excellence, Plant Science for Gardeners has received numerous awards, including a SILVER (tie) in the 2023 IPPY Awards: Science category.
