Un libro de jardinería diferente que explica la ciencia detrás de la jardinería de forma visual y clara.

¿El mundo de la botánica y la jardinería te parecen un misterio? Las guías de jardinería al uso tienden a dar gran cantidad de instrucciones y consejos, pero rara vez aportan explicaciones sobre el por qué. ¡No te preocupes! El Dr. Stuart Farromond arroja luz sobre todas esas preguntas que siempre te has hecho y te explica lo que sucede en tu jardín desde un enfoque científico.

La guía botánica definitiva para entender los secretos de la horticultura y la floricultura como un profesional:

 -        Escrita con un lenguaje accesible y libre de tecnicismos en formato pregunta y respuesta.
-         Con explicaciones claras, apoyadas por gráficos y esquemas para ilustrar los conceptos de forma visual.
-         Estructurado en torno al ciclo de vida de un jardín, desde los primeros brotes hasta el momento de la poda.
-         Explica los beneficios de la jardinería para la salud mental y el medio ambiente.
Un práctico manual de jardinería con explicaciones y consejos avalados por la ciencia, que te ayudará a comprender mejor cómo se comportan las plantas, desmitificar creencias y descubrir las bases y avances de la horticultura moderna. 


The only book to explain the science behind gardening practice in a simple and visually accessible way.


The world of gardening can be a mystifying place, with so many instructions to follow and often little explanation as to why. Dr. Stuart Farromond casts his scientific eye over a typical year in the garden to answer all the horticultural questions you’ve ever wanted the answer to. 

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.
Specializing in food science, Dr. Stuart Farrimond is a science and medical writer, presenter, and educator. He makes regular appearances on TV, on radio, and at public events, and his writing appears in national and international publications, including the Independent, the Daily Mail, and New Scientist.

An avid blogger, Stuart is also the founder and editor of online lifestyle-science magazine Guru, which is supported by the Wellcome Trust, the world's largest medical research charity. View titles by Dr. Stuart Farrimond
