Roots, Leaves & Seeds
Ten questions on plant life and the practical gardening that follows from it, each explained by mechanism.
About this topic
Gardening advice is usually handed down as rules without reasons, which makes it hard to adapt when conditions change. This quiz covers the biology underneath: how plants make food, what roots take up, how pollination leads to fruit, and what the growth-habit terms actually mean. It includes adaptations such as those of cacti, which explain a great deal about watering. The explanations connect the botany to the practice throughout.
