Plants & Animals
This is the place to learn the facts about all living things, whether plant or animal, in all their fascinating diversity! Learn about our natural world of plants & animals in such topics as birds, cats, dogs, horses, other mammals, reptiles and amphibians, saltwater fish and freshwater fish, and even insects - and you can find out about animals in more depth by reading about pet care. We pay attention to the value of wildlife conservation, as well. The latest information about the world of plants and animals is based on up-to-date research.
The writers at Botany will give you the facts of the science; the writers of plants and bulbs, landscaping, organic gardening, houseplants, flower gardens, desert/water-wise gardening, vegetable and water gardens will put it into practical perspective for you.
