Honestly, just because I think they’re neat! A lot of them are also nice to look at, although not necessarily beautiful in the big-colorful-flowers kind of way. They’re an important source of food and shelter for all sorts of animals, too.

I’m not a biologist but one of my hobbies is gardening so I like plant in my garden because I’ve planted them and watched them grow.

I love plants for many reasons, and I’d love to share some of them with you! As a plant scientist, I get to discover new things about plants every day. It’s like being a detective in a green, leafy world. There are always new things to learn and exciting experiments to try. But it is not only this
Beautiful and Colorful: Plants make our world beautiful with their colorful flowers and green leaves. Just imagine a garden full of bright, blooming flowers—it’s like a rainbow on the ground!
Fresh Air: Plants are amazing because they help clean the air we breathe. They take in carbon dioxide (what we breathe out) and give us fresh oxygen. It’s like they’re little air purifiers.
Food and Shelter: Many of the foods we eat come from plants. Apples, carrots, and even chocolate come from plants! Plus, plants provide homes for many animals. Birds, bugs, and even some small mammals live in or on plants.
Relaxing and Fun: Gardening is one of my favorite hobbies. Planting seeds, watching them grow, and caring for them is very relaxing. It’s also a lot of fun to see how a tiny seed can turn into a big plant with flowers or vegetables.
Helping the Environment: Plants play a big role in helping our planet. They prevent soil erosion, provide habitats for wildlife, and help regulate the water cycle. By taking care of plants, we’re also taking care of the Earth.
So, those are just a few reasons why I love plants. They make our world a better, more beautiful place and help us in so many ways. Plus, they’re just really cool to study and take care of!

I don’t study plants in my work very often, but I think they’re fascinating. Their survival mechanisms are really interesting, they’re great for the Earth, and I love learning about things like how they access resources or what makes them strong. I also think the way ecosystems fit together is amazing, so I love understanding the different parts of that!

Honestly, I never thought I would become a plant scientist, even when I started my degree at university! Climate change and space exploration are the reasons I became interested in plants, because I wanted my research to make a real world contribution to the challenges that we face, and growing enough food is a big one.
Since I started researching plants, particularly growing plants in space, I became fascinated by how well they can survive and even thrive in the harshest of environments, and really started to appreciate how cool they actually are from a biology point of view.
Plants are also just amazing to look at, and they also produce the oxygen we breathe as well as providing food – all good reasons for growing plants in space!
