Plants grow naturally towards the strongest source of light, this is called phototropism. They do this in order to maximise their exposure to the sun and increase the amount of photosysnthesis (and therefore growth). This is a survival mechansim.
An example of this is plants close to a window will always grow towards the window (for more light); most people simply turn the plant around to balance the "lobsided" growth effect that it creates.
