Gardening, like any other activity, has its own terminology. It is helpful for the gardener
to know this terminology as well as the life processes of the plants being grown.
Botany is the study of plants, their growth patterns, structure, and habits. As the gardener
grows to understand the plants better, the process of gardening becomes easier and more fun.
Botanical terms and the method of classifying plants aren’t diffucult to learn, indeed this
education will make gardening a more enjoyable hobby.
A basic study of botany would include understanding the root system of the plant, how it
works and why it is important. Discover the function of the leaf, its structure, how and
why it is important. You can also learn plant form, the different parts of the plant,
how and why the plant responds to light, rain, heat and cold. Learning the different
methods of how plants reproduce, and how to propagate them is also useful knowledge.
Botanical terms are also important to learn. Plant parts, flower parts, different types of
flowers, seeds, and leaves are all part of the plant kingdom and for the basis of some
interesting study. Basic botany is at the heart of gardening, sort of like a mechanic
needing to learn the different parts of cars he repairs, a gardener can benefit by learning
about the plants grown in the garden.
This section, as it grows will cover basic botanical terms, plant propagation and other
of plant study. The study of plant botany is an interesting part of gardening. The writer
of this web site is not a scientist so the knowledge imparted here will not get too
technical.
