Plant Science for Gardeners: Applying Plant Science to Boost Soil Health, Improve Yields, and Create Resilient Gardens
by Evelyn Walker

Most gardeners are taught to follow rules-water once a week, prune lilacs after flowering, plant garlic in October. But what happens when plants struggle, yields drop, or unexpected problems arise? Rules can only take you so far.

Plant Science for Gardeners offers a better way. By understanding the biology behind how plants grow, you'll gain the confidence to troubleshoot issues, adapt to challenges, and make informed decisions for healthier, more productive gardens. Instead of memorizing endless tips, you'll learn to think like a gardener who understands the "why" behind the "how."

Inside, you'll discover:

The essential biology of roots, stems, leaves, and flowers

How plants function as whole organisms

The role of nutrients, soil health, and inputs

Practical guidance for vegetables, flowers, grasses, trees, and shrubs

Propagation techniques and the basics of plant genetics

Myth-busting insights that challenge traditional gardening rules

Step-by-step strategies for diagnosing and solving plant problems

Whether you're a backyard gardener, market grower, or homesteader, this accessible and engaging guide will help you build resilient gardens, improve yields, and work in harmony with nature. With plant science as your foundation, you'll move beyond guesswork and into confident, successful gardening.
