Secret life of plants: an interesting read. by Rion Carter (Provo, UT USA) 5 Stars
October 19, 2009
I thought the book was interesting enough to buy, which doesn't happen to me very often. Whether you agree with the theories or not doesn't really matter... it's the possibilities that are very interesting. I enjoyed reading the book, but that doesn't mean I agree with every statement in it. I think it's very thought provoking, and definitely worth a buy.

Fastastic Book by M. Gillespie (Chicago, IL) 5 Stars

This eye-opening book tells the amazing stories of numerous scientists who revealed aspects of plants that the average person would never think possible. You will never look at a plant the same way again!

Amazing Read!  by Elise Ireland (Portland) 5 Stars

The Secret Life of Plants takes Plant Spirit shamanic understanding to an entirely new level. I am beyond impressed with this read. Don't say that lightly. If you've ever felt drawn to Plants or the woods, this book will explain why and what that pull is on a subconscious level. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to expand their perception of nature's wisdom and energy as a whole.

Awesome book by yamahar6 5 Stars

I have to say, this book blows any plant book I have so far out of the water. The great thing about this book is that it will open doors to not only plants, but it will make you re-think everything. It will show you plants / animals / humans are all but one. The book goes through so many people's experiments and will challenge you to re-think everything you thought you knew about plants. The book is about plants, but it is also about life, animals, and everything in between, how were are all inter-connected.... Pick it up and have a read when your ready to learn about life.

The Secret Life of Plants We have had an older edition of this book for many years and read it so often that it fell apart!!!! And so we bought a new one. That in itself should be recommendation enough. It's a fascinating book!! Alas not for vegetarians, because they would feel like going back to eating meat!!
