The aim of this book is to describe some aspects of the chemistry and chemical ecology which are found inthe garden. In the garden there are numerous interactions between plants, the soil and with other organisms in whichchemistry plays a central mediating role. The discussion concerns several of the chemically and ecologicallyinteresting compounds that are produced by common ornamental garden plants and vegetables and by thepredators that attack them. Many chemists are amateur gardeners and this book is directed at them as well as those with a general interest in the scientific processes involved in the garden.
