	Volunteer (botany)
		In gardening and botanical terminology, a volunteer is a plant that grows on its own, rather than being deliberately planted by a human farmer or gardener.
		Volunteers often grow from seeds that float in on the wind, are dropped by birds, or are inadvertently mixed into compost before it is used.
		Volunteers that grow from the seeds of specific cultivars do not reliably "come true", and often differ significantly from the parent.
