Shelf Life is presented by Michael Holland from the Chelsea Physic Garden in London. It is a collection of plants growing in the packaging of foods, drinks, cosmetics and medicines. For example a tomato plant growing from a bottle of tomato ketchup, wheat from a bag of bread, an orange plant from a carton of orange juice or a willow sapling from an aspirin bottle.

Hi Micheal,
thanks for going to the effort to make this video, I think children will see the conection your making between plants and packaging very easily.
