In layman's language, botanist Scott Zona imparts all his #plantnerd wisdom on you by sharing the wonders of how different plant parts function, what separates plants from humans, how their evolutionary history impacts their success in the garden, and how the adaptations they 've developed over the eons influence everything from their leaf patterns and shapes to their growth habits, hormones, and metabolism.
