Plants Are Better Than People

Plants are Better than People.

A zine that makes you feel better.

By Cara Hagan

This Zucchini Queen wanted to wear their crown today.

They look amazing.

Peep this Bottle-Neck Squash in a romantic embrace with Greenery.

They don’t care that other people know they love each other.

These two tiny Cukes are growing up together.

They’re making inside jokes.

This Tiny Flower got dressed and wanted everyone to see how pretty they feel.

Tomatoes clap in response.

These plants all live together.

They show out when they feel fierce and support each other’s growth and relationships.

Plants are better than people.

This Horsenettle plant is prickly.

They said what they said.

They are appreciated for their candor.

This Peach Tree has more peaches than they can use. So they share.

“Y’all come and eat!” They always say, and no one, no matter their species or how many legs they have, goes hungry.

This Roma tomato plant is a late bloomer. None of the other plants make fun.

They trust that Roma is normal and will bloom when they’re ready.

Penny Royal is adept at gently keeping harmful pests away from fruits and veggies while providing refuge for spiders.

They can often be heard saying, “I gotchu!”

The other plants don’t take them for granted.

This Spaghetti Squash Baby decided they want to go exploring outside of their box.

Arugula says, “you do you, boo.”

And Squash Baby goes traveling to discover more about themselves.

These plants all live together. They are accepting of each other’s differences, they affirm each other’s life choices, recognize each other’s talents, and give as they’re able.

Plants are better than people.
