HINGHAM, Mass. - Aug. 2, 2023 - PRLog -- I don't have to tell you that gardening is an art. Any beautifully designed plot rich with red roses, deep blue indigo, and striking yellow sunflowers is enough to convince anyone that flowers, vegetables, fruits, shrubs, and trees can create a museum in your yard. Some of the most famous paintings in the world are proof enough that gardens are indeed art. Mary Cassatt's "Lilacs in a Window" and Vincent van Gogh's "Irises" have revered places in museum halls.

Gardening is also science. You can't talk about soil composition or plant hybrids without getting into science. But "science" sounds so removed from the emotions and beauty of time in the garden. In reality, art and science can mingle and connect. Science can help us understand the art of gardening and art helps us appreciate the science of gardening. That's exactly what you'll find in this Collection, Gardening Science: Stories for learning how to be a better gardener.

When you read the special GreenPrints Collection Gardening Science: Stories for learning how to be a better gardener (https://greenprints.com/subscribe/sale20-all-access/) today, you'll learn some interesting and valuable facts:

• What's the science about talking to your plants? Get the answer about benefits to your plants—and benefits for yourself—when talking to your plants on a regular basis. Get the details now.
• Trees are good for us—and the environment. Trees put water back in our atmosphere. Over 90% of the water sucked up by a tree's roots is sprayed into the sky via stomata—tiny openings on the surface of the leaves—in a process known as transpiration. Turns out, that's a good thing! Learn more about it now!
• How photosynthesis helps the world and, especially, our gardens. Plants have it way up on us humans because they can make their own food—just by sitting there pointing themselves skyward and using nothing but water, sunshine, and carbon dioxide. Find out how they do it now!

The stories here bring us into the joys and fascinations of gardening by appealing to our spirits and the scientific explanations that feed our sense of wonder. In "The Sweet Smell of Rain," Becky Rupp brings us to a garden still sparkling with water droplets after a storm and explains not only why the scent of an April shower is so unique, but also why it's so evocative and memorable.
