The Private Life of Plants

1995292 min8.4 / 10

A visually stunning, intellectually engaging exploration of plant life that reveals the hidden complexity and beauty of the natural world through meticulous observation and wonder.

David Attenborough takes us on a guided tour through the secret world of plants, to see things no unaided eye could witness. Each episode in this six-part series focuses on one of the critical stages through which every plant must pass if it is to survive:- travelling, growing, and flowering; struggling with one another; creating alliances with other organisms both plant and animal; and evolving complex ways of surviving in the earth's most ferociously hostile environments.
