This great gardening book provides a shortcut to decades of gardening experience by explaining the science behind how a garden grows, featuring:

- An accessible guide structured around the life cycle of the garden, taking you from first shoots to pruning for renewal.
- An accessible Q &A format, with stats and infographics to bring the story to life, as well as long-held gardening myths are exploded by new science.
- Every way to greener fingers has an action point so that you can understand the science, apply your gardening practice, and enjoy a flourishing garden.

From hands-on, practical advice, to an exploration of the mental health benefits of gardening, while also covering topics such as the positive impact gardening can have on the earth during a time of climate crisis in between, The Science of Gardening debunks myths and reveals the latest science only taught at horticultural college. As a passionate newcomer to gardening, daunted by the mountain of often conflicting advice in gardening manuals, Dr. Stu has set about testing the scientific basis of so much conventional wisdom and practice so you too can garden like a pro.
