Power Of Plants - Season 1

We think of plants as inanimate objects, but they are anything but. Plants have cunning tricks, from shedding their leaves to producing antifreeze to escape the weather. They will cover themselves in thorns and produce toxic chemicals to try and defend themselves from animals that want to eat them.

Like animals, the lives of plants are a race to grow and breed, to make sure they leave a genetic legacy. They must race to beat their communities to the best light spots or to make the most of short seasons. And to breed some catapult offspring around the forest, some use the wind.
