When we humans want to travel, we have the train, the car, or even airplanes. And for short trips, there are bicycles or our own feet. Plants don’t have any of that. Yet, we find them in the most unlikely places, like in the sandbox or in the gutter. How did they actually get there?

Plants travel too, over land and through the air. But plants don’t travel by themselves; they send their seeds on journeys. Some seeds use the wind to fly away. Others travel with animals that eat them. And where the seeds land, new plants can grow, for example in the sandbox or in the gutter.
