SCIENCE IN THE GARDEN
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 butterbushes and put down roots in
the damp soil, to connect green thumbs 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.
