Gardening Science: The Sun, the Wind, and the Clouds
The sun is a powerful element and greatly affects how our gardens grow. From the Winter solstice until the Spring equinox—when day and night are of equal length—do you know how many more minutes of sunlight we get, day by day as we go from Winter to Spring? Get the answer now in Wit, Wisdom & Learning: 15 practical stories for becoming a better gardener!
You’ll learn so many facts about how the sun not only affects your garden but also affects your body and your moods—and with the backdrop of stories about how the sun was observed by a variety of ancient cultures.
And then there’s the wind! Discover why we need the wind—and how the force and stress of the wind creates “reaction wood” in trees, an essential component for hearty trees!
Clouds, too, are good and important for our atmosphere and environment—sure, everyone loves a full-sun day, but did you know that clouds of various types cover two-thirds of our planet at any given moment? Discover which plants thrive with the right amount of shade. And learn about a geo-engineering initiative by some scientists to manufacture clouds with technology as a way to combat climate change.
