Plants & Gardening

How plants live, and how to keep them alive.

Plants are easy to overlook precisely because they are everywhere, and gardening is one of the few places where botany becomes immediately practical. This category covers how plants feed themselves, what roots and leaves are actually doing, how pollination and seed production work, and the growing habits, annual, perennial, deciduous, that determine what a garden does across a year. The explanations link the biology to the practice, since most gardening advice is a botanical fact wearing working clothes. Useful whether you keep a garden, a windowsill or nothing at all.
