The WellTempered Garden

Not sure if this is the right fit?

Consider Botany for Gardeners by Brian Capon.

“Begins in plain, question-driven prose that answers gardeners’ basic queries about seeds, plant structure, and reproduction using everyday examples. The strongest sections map biological processes to practical choices such as sowing time, pruning and basic care, keeping jargon to a minimum. Coverage stays at an introductory level, so readers who need photo-led identification, species-by-species instructions, or deep anatomical minutiae will find it too light. Occasional dives into denser physiology slow the pace and demand closer reading.”
