Alternatively, Red Room Poetry's New Shoots Anthology has some nice poems inspired by plants. I quite like this one, though the full poem is almost definitely too long for the sidebar.
Paving Stones — Mark Mahemoff
The olive tree next door
is gnarled and overgrown.
It dumps its bitter cherries
onto our paving stones.Beside it there's another tree
I can't identify.
Its blossoms are so purple
they almost make me cry.Two rainbow lorikeets
are swinging on a branch.
They're feasting on ripe persimmons:
April's sweetest treats.What's left of this abundance
remains hanging in tatters.
In darkness flying foxes
take care of such matters.

Gardens are where the body gets to work and the mind gets to rest.
