Description

Why is a bonsai a dwarf and why is it natural to clone rosemary? How come those seeds never sprout? And what has the moon got to do with it? Can you really water plants in the middle of the day? After he inherited a large city garden, a scientist began to observe the flower-beds, lawns and vases through the eyes of the augmented reality of biology, chemistry, ecology and physics. Between hoeing and experiments in the laboratory, he was to weed out some legends, transplant the small world of vases into the large container of planetary phenomena and fertilize some strange features of plants, both ornamental and otherwise.

The stories and scientific explanations of a year of gardening sprout up alongside the begonias, blossom on butter bushes and put down roots in the damp soil, to connect green fingers with a research point of view, leading us to examine allotments, gardens and flower-decked balconied from the perspective of current scientific knowledge on the plant world.

Author

Renato Bruniis Associate professor in Botany/Pharmaceutical Biology in the Department of Food Science at the University of Parma. In the laboratory, he works on the secondary metabolites of plants and their uses, while on the web he is the author of the blog Erba Volant , writing about how studying plants and their effects is harder than thought. This is also why the better he gets to know plants the more he is convinced that they are complicated creatures. He has published several books:
Erba Volant (2015) won the Science Book Award 2017
Science in the Garden (2017)
Mirabilia. When Art Conceals Botany (2018)
