From one little seed, planted into soil, many green lives can arise – from small herbs up to big trees, or from ornamental flowers to substantial crops which all animals and mankind need to survive on this planet. Plant biologists estimate the total number of plant species roughly to be about 250,000. On the back of this coordinated activity we hope to plant again many virtual and constantly germinating seeds in the collective mind of the European and World Public that plant science is of critical significance to the social and environmental landscape now and in future.
Some people might just think this is a bit of a chaotic mess, but I love it and so do the birds, bees and butterflies. Weeding, deadheading and staking are a total nightmare as I can’t get into the beds any more, so I’m basically leaving much of it to its own devices right now!
