Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gardening can be frustratingly shrouded in secrecy. Fickle plants make seemingly spontaneous decisions to bloom or bust, seeds sprout magically in the blink of an eye, and deep-rooted mysteries unfold underground and out of sight. Understanding basic botany is like unlocking a horticultural code; fortunately learning a little science can reveal the secrets of the botanical universe and shed some light on what’s really going on in your garden. Practical Botany for Gardeners provides an elegant and accessible introduction to the world of botany. It presents the essentials that every gardener needs to know, connecting explanations of scientific facts with useful gardening tips. Flip to the roots section and you’ll not only learn how different types of roots support a plant but also find that adding fungi to soil aids growth. The pruning section both defines “lateral buds” and explains how far back on a shoot to cut in order to propagate them. The book breaks down key areas and terminology with easy-to-navigate chapters arranged by theme, such as plant types, plant parts, inner workings, and external factors. “Great Botanists” and “Botany in Action” boxes delve deeper into the fascinating byways of plant science. This multifaceted book also includes two hundred botanical illustrations and basic diagrams that hearken to the classic roots of botany. Part handbook, part reference, Practical Botany for Gardeners is a beautifully captivating read. It’s a must for garden lovers and backyard botanists who want to grow and nurture their own plant knowledge.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Course in Botany: With Especial Reference to Its Bearings on Agriculture, Economics, and Sanitation In preparing the present volume, the aim of the writer has been to meet all the college entrance requirements and at the same time to bring the study of botany into closer touch with the practical business of life by stressing its relations with agriculture, economics, and, in certain of its aspects, with sanitation. While technical language has been avoided so far as the requirements of scientific accuracy will permit, the student is not encouraged to shirk the use of necessary botanical terms, out of a mere superstitious fear of words because they happen to be a little now or unfamiliar. Such a practice not only leads to careless and inaccurate modes of expression, but tends to foster a slovenly habit of mind, and in the long run causes the waste of more time and labor in the search after roundabout, and often misleading, substitutes, than it would require to master the proper use of a few new words and phrases. In the choice of materials for experiment and illustration, the endeavor has been to call for such only as are familiar and easily obtained. The specimens for flower dissection have been selected mainly from common cultivated kinds, because their wide distribution makes them easy to obtain everywhere, while in cities and large towns they are practically the only specimens available. Another important consideration has been the desire to spare our native wild flowers, or at least not to hasten the extinction with which they are threatened by the ravages of Sunday excursionists and summer tourists, to whose unthinking, but none the less destructive, incursions, the automobile has laid open the most secret haunts of nature.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Botany 101 for professionals who want a summary of planting design fundamentals. Plants are among the most important materials for effective landscape design. Yet the fundamentals of plant biology and growth; their morphology, color, and functional assets; and details such as planting, pruning techniques, and maintenance practices are surprisingly absent from our education and training, which tend to focus on other core principles like drainage, grading, and spatial relationships. What do you need to know about how plants grow and function? How can you determine appropriate plants for a particular site? How can you use their distinct design features effectively? What are the real design considerations to keep in mind? This book—a Botany 101 course for professionals and students alike—walks you through all the answers, equipping you with the ability to be not just an informed landscape designer but also an effective planting designer. Kimberly Duffy Turner, a landscape architect and horticulturalist, explains the essentials of planting design, exploring form and function and showing how various characteristics of plants and trees—shape, pigment, leaf veination, texture, fragrance, sound, height, and more—can be used to achieve effective site-appropriate designs. Specifying appropriate plant material and examining stock at the nursery—drawing up a planting schedule of the species or cultivar, sizes, and quantities—and evaluating modes of transplantation (when to ask for bare root, balled and burlapped, or containerized) are other key “on-the-job” concepts covered. A chapter on green design outlines some of the sustainable trends in botany: the role of LEED certification in landscape design; mitigating environmental problems with plants and open space; the emergence of green roofs and vertical gardens; biomimicry; and sensitive material selection, like composite wood products and plant-derived, soy-based paints. Both a handy appendix of common Latin and Greek terms used in horticulture and a comprehensive list of plant palettes are included. With more than 150 color photographs and schematic drawings illustrating key strategies, Botany for Designers is the professional’s go-to guide, showing you how an appreciation of plant fundamentals can lead to more inspired, well-designed landscapes.
