The Secret Life of Plants by Peter Tompkins →

. RSS

The Secret Life of Plants, by Peter Tompkins and Christopher Bird, documents controversial experiments that claim to reveal unusual phenomena regarding plants, such as the capacity to feel, sense, or experience subjectivity discovered through experimentation.

The book includes experiments on plant stimuli using a polygraph and discusses progressive farming methods based on these findings.

Scientists have criticized the book falsely or mistakenly, claiming it was based on the scientific method.

The book is exciting, and the claim of sensitivity of plants seems believable, but many of the unsubstantiated claims have negatively impacted plant study credibility.

Hidden Life of Trees is a better overall book on Trees
