Intelligent Plants, or What We Can Learn from Nature

Plants have a powerful, complex, and dynamic life, and valuable lessons can be easily drawn from it. This aspect of plants will be elaborately discussed by Beronda Montgomery.

Plants "understand" who they are, where they are, and what they need to do, using this knowledge for survival, according to the author. They experience a kind of sensations that do not require the familiar organs of sense and nervous system. They distinguish relatives, friends, and foes. It seems they possess a kind of intelligence that allows them to make clear and thoughtful decisions.

By observing plants and understanding how they achieve their goals, human society can change for the better. Professor Montgomery poses a question that prompts us to reconsider our way of life: what would a plant do in this situation?
