An exploration of how plant behavior and adaptation offer valuable insights for human thriving. We know that plants are important. They maintain the atmosphere by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. They nourish other living organisms and supply psychological benefits to humans as well, improving our moods and beautifying the landscape around us. But plants don’t just passively provide. They also take action. Beronda L. Montgomery explores the vigorous, creative lives of organisms often treated as static and predictable. In fact, plants are masters of adaptation. They “know” what and who they are, and they use this knowledge to make a way in the world. Plants experience a kind of sensation that does not require eyes or ears. They distinguish kin, friend, and foe, and they are able to respond to ecological competition despite lacking the capacity of fight-or-flight. Plants are even capable of transformative behaviors that allow them to maximize their chances of survival in a dynamic and sometimes unfriendly environment. Lessons from Plants enters into the depth of botanic experience and shows how we might improve human society by better appreciating not just what plants give us but also how they achieve their own purposes. What would it mean to learn from these organisms, to become more aware of our environments and to adapt to our own worlds by calling on perception and awareness? Montgomery’s meditative study puts before us a question with the power to reframe the way we live: What would a plant do?

Excerpt from First Lessons With Plants: Being an Abridgement of Lessons With Plants; Suggestions for Seeing and Interpreting Some of the Common Forms of Vegetation Teachers sometimes like to take up the plant as an entirety, before discussing its parts. Familiar plants may be brought before the class, and the difierent parts pointed out, - as stems, roots, leaves, flowers. This is desirable with children, but its usefulness is com mouly not great, except as a brief introduction to more serious observation. The pupil should be taught to see accurately and in detail; and it is always well to lead him to make suggestions as to the meaning and uses of the features which he has seen.
