Plant scientist Monica Gagliano did a series of groundbreaking experiments that suggest plants have a capacity to learn, remember and make choices. She’s written about plant intelligence and communication. But she hasn’t talked—until now—about the leap of faith she took when a plant told her to go on a darkness retreat—for 39 days.
To learn more about Monica's scientific work, listen to Steve Paulson’s conversation with her on the new field of plant intelligence.
