The Kingdom of Plants
“I am trying to explore the fascinating world of plants, from the most unusual to the most beautiful. I will use the latest technology to reveal a new dimension in the life of plants. I will trace their journey from the place where they first appeared on land to their current natural habitats. And I will discover a hidden world that we often overlook. We will shift from our time scale to theirs. We will investigate the extraordinary survival methods of some plants that can withstand harsh conditions. And we will do all this in a truly unique place, a miniature closed world of plants: Kew Royal Botanic Gardens.”
Narrated by David Attenborough.

“It is impossible to witness the events of the plant world with the naked eye. But thanks to the latest time-lapse photography techniques, everything has been revealed. The way the Venus flytrap snaps shut to capture its prey; how the cat’s claw plant’s grasping hooks and the Boston ivy’s sticky leaves help in their fight for light have all been recorded. You will soar with seeds that inspired the design of gliders and witness the world’s fastest-growing plant extending up to 60 cm per day. You will also discover how dragon blood trees, which ooze red sap from their branches, retain water.”
The Magic of Fungi
“For our survival, and even more importantly, for the survival of all life on Earth, there is something more essential, more mysterious than anything else. Its birth is difficult.

They have a very secretive, magical, strange, yet utterly fascinating life…”
