Volunteer (botany)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In gardening and agronomic terminology, a volunteer is a plant that grows on its own, rather than being deliberately planted by a farmer or gardener.[1] The action of such plants — to sprout or grow in this fashion — may also be described as volunteering.[2]
