This is not your average gardening book. There is nothing about planting roses and growing vegetables in here.It is all about the life and survival of plants - and who could have imagined it would be so nasty? Plants have many different survival methods.Did you know there's a plant that strangles other plants? Or one that traps and eats its victims? Smarty Plants goes right to the roots of the matter and shows you exactly what is going on in the strange and exciting world of plants. At a deeper level this book is about lifecycles and biodiversity.
