About this listen
Plants play a critical role in how we experience our environment. They create calming green spaces, provide oxygen for us to breathe, and nourish our senses. In The Nature of Plants, ecologist and nursery owner Craig Huegel demystifies the complex lives of plants and provides listeners with an extensive tour into their workings.
Beginning with the importance of light, water, and soil, Huegel describes the process of photosynthesis and how best to position plants to receive optimal sunlight. He explains why plants suffer from overwatering, what essential elements plants need to flourish, and what important soil organisms reside with them. Listeners will understand the difference between friendly and hostile bacteria, fungi, and insects.
Sections on plant structure and reproduction focus in detail on major plant organs - roots, stems, and leaves-and cover flowering, pollination, fruit development, and seed germination. Huegel even delves into the mysterious world of plant communication, exploring the messages conveyed to animals or other plants through chemical scents and hormones.

Complex - not for the hobby gardener
Some sections of the book are interesting and useful while many others go into a level of detail and jargon that is of use to a botany student / professional. This book seems to be an adaptation of a text book and is not suited to a gardener / hobbyist. The writer could have simplified it considerably and made it far more useful for the general public.
Narration is good, easy to understand - including the hundreds of technical terms and botanical names used.
