15: Robert Pavlis

Robert Pavlis is a chemist and biochemist by training but in his ‘semi-retirement’ he has researched many garden topics approaching them from a scientific point of view and as a result has written two books on ‘Garden Myths’ where he debunks common misconceptions that gardeners adopt.  

He lives in Guelph, Ontario, and gardens at his six-acre home called Aspen Grove Gardens. 

He has published a handful of books and maintains two websites, gardenmyths.com and gardenfundamentals.com. 

His latest book comes out in Autumn (Fall) 2024 ‘Food science for Gardeners - Grow Harvest and Prepare Nutrient Dense Food’, the first book on this subject. Bunny chats to Robert about his garden, how he researches for his books and the exciting new information he has found for his new book. 

Robert is an award winning author of several books, Building Natural Ponds, Soil Science for Gardeners, Plant Science for Gardeners, Compost Science for Gardeners, Microbe Science for Gardeners and Garden Myths and publishes the popular gardening blog; GardenMyths.com and a YouTube Channel; Garden Fundamentals.
