A little about the story

Many people do not realise that plants are alive, writes Marie Stopes. This book teaches young people to study plants for themselves: how they grow, breathe, drink, reproduce and adapt, with experiments to try and things to look for.

Stopes was a pioneering botanist, the first woman scientist on the faculty of the University of Manchester.
