Green plants are all around us. We are totally dependent on them for food; we cultivate them for our pleasure; and we have used them in a vast number of ways down the centuries. But have you ever wondered how plants work? Where do trees get the material to make wood? How does a bulb 'know' to sprout in the spring? Why are flowers different colours? This book answers these questions in a charming and accessible way. This is not just a book for keen gardeners and naturalists. This is a book for anyone who wants to understand why the earth is green.
