Lessons from a Plant Funeral
Editor Brian Sparks reflects on the CBS segment "Pride and Perils of Plant Parenthood", where a unique funeral for a plant took place.
Mourners gathered around, sharing photos and stories of the once healthy plant, speaking of fond memories and what they might have done differently.
This is a funeral for a plant.
The segment featured former owners sharing their experiences of failing their leafy companions, some of which had human names like Iris, Lily, or Veronica, while a "plant doctor" offered a diagnosis.
Dr. Melinda Knuth of North Carolina State University's Department of Horticultural Science also appeared in the segment.
