Summary
This is Our Green Planet - a hidden world where plants can smell, taste, touch, hear, and even… ‘talk’. Discover the astonishing stories from the brand-new BBC TV series, presented by David Attenborough.
In the world of plants, time passes more slowly, but if we speed months into minutes, we can peer into this hidden world and realize it’s a battleground. Plants are working to thwart their enemies and to trick animals into working for them.
