Brian Capon's Botany for Gardeners has been the standard plain-language introduction to plant science for more than thirty years. It explains how a plant is built and how it works: how roots take up water and minerals, how leaves turn light into sugar, how stems carry both, and how flowers and seeds carry a plant into the next season.
The fourth edition, from Timber Press, updates the science and the names and adds new photographs and drawings, without losing the book's patient, unhurried tone. It asks for curiosity rather than a science degree.
It is the foundation under everything else a grower reads. Knowing why soil moisture and soil temperature matter to a root makes the readings from the probes in our Terroir collection, and the projections from Good Earth MCP, far more useful.
