When I think of spring, I ponder how many different seeds I will plant this year in my garden. When you approach my house, I replaced the lawn on the right of the house with a stone pathway and a variety of plants. There are different Roses which will eventually climb up an arch intertwined with different species of Clematis . This year the left lawn will be replaced with a fountain encircled with blue slate with a variety of new plants grown from seeds in my small greenhouse. So lets talk about the book, The Triumph of Seeds.
The Triumph of Seeds by Thor Hanson was written 7 years ago. Why talk about it today. I had to if I was describing the gardens and my own seeds. It is not a regular botany book. It is a truly engaging book which integrates the discussion of seeds in discussing the ways in which human and plants interact. It doesn’t discuss the way plants grow from seeds but instead discusses the seeds themselves. I have turned to this book for inspiration. The chapters are named appropriately . In some chapters he opens with a story from a novel.
You must read this enchanting , informative and educational book
