Karl J. Niklas the Liberty Hyde Bailey Professor of Plant Biology at Cornell University writes:

I wrote and produced a 10 minute long film about the importance of plants, the people who study them, and the history of plant biology societies.  The purpose of the film is to encourage people to study plants.  The film is on You Tube.

At this direct link

We can easily provide DVD copies to educators if they are interested.  Alternatively, they can use the You Tube link to go to the film directly.

As far as other resources go, the Botanical Society of America has set up a plant science tutorial network which allows educators and learners to work with professional plant biologists using the web.
The program is called PlantingScience.

Please let me know if I can provide any additional information or answer any questions.

Sincerely yours,

Karl J. Niklas
