Plantsmanship

Plantsmanship is the skillful and knowledgeable practice of cultivating, caring for, and understanding plants. It involves recognizing the needs of different plants—such as light, water, soil, and space—and applying appropriate techniques to support healthy growth. A skilled plantsman observes plant responses, adapts their methods accordingly, and appreciates the natural beauty and complexity of plant life. It combines scientific understanding with artistic intuition to create thriving, sustainable gardens and landscapes, fostering a deeper connection between people and the plants they nurture.
