S1.E1 ∙ Tropical Worlds
Tropical rainforests are plant battlegrounds. New filming techniques allow us to enter the world of plants to see it from their perspective and on their timescale.
S1.E2 ∙ Water Worlds
Water plants create beautiful, bizarre worlds. Flowers smother rivers and lakes. Plants fight and hunt. A river bubbles like champagne as plants create the atmosphere itself.
S1.E3 ∙ Seasonal Worlds
Plants of the seasonal world face constant change. They use strategy, deception and feats of engineering to survive. Most importantly, they must get their timing right.
S1.E4 ∙ Desert Worlds
Desert plants spend decades in suspended animation waiting for rain, or they travel to find it. They survive using weapons, camouflage and surprising alliances with animals.
S1.E5 ∙ Human Worlds
Two out of five wild plants are threatened with extinction. Today people are finding remarkable ways to help them, and so make our world a little greener and a little wilder.
