Do you know the kind words and light music have anything to do with plants?
Many people talk to their plants. Many people play music to their plants. And many people try very hard to protect their plants from loud noises, strong lights, and unpleasant smell.
That's not all. Some people are very careful about what they say or do in front of plants. They won't talk about unpleasant things. They won't beat a fly near their plants.
Why? Those people are afraid that they may hurt their plants' feelings.
Can you hurt a plant's feelings? Do plants have feelings? Clever Backster thinks so. Many pupils think so. Even a few scientists think that plants can be happy, worried, angry, loving or frightened. Others don' t believe that a plant's feelings can be hurt.
Who is right?
Then along came the experiments of Backster. From his experiments, Backster decided that plants have feelings. He said that, like people, plants need love and kindness. They can feel worried and happy.
Two years later, in 1968, Backster wrote about his experiments in a magazine. And much of the world took notice. Plant lovers of the world were pleased.
