The Living Garden
Thursday 20 July 2023
The awareness of plants of their surroundings through sensing light direction and intensity, colours, touch, vibration and scents is a fascinating area of scientific study.
This course looks at gardens from the plants’ perspective. You will learn about new discoveries in this field, how plants use chemistry to above and below ground to communicate, and the importance of the sun and moon to trading nutrients and carbon with mycorrhizal fungi.
The day will also explore plant relationships with each other, insects, birds, animals – including humans – and pose new questions about whether plants feel pain. Are we friend or foe? Are we growing plants for our benefit or are they provoking us to do so for theirs?
