“In worlds where the core tenets of modernity pull us into realms of separation and disconnection, engaging with plants can be a radical act of rekindling a forgotten dialogue. .

An invitation walk beyond the idea of human exceptionalism and towards acknowledging and honouring the intrinsic value of the myriad life forms that we share this planet with. To remember how our existance is and always has been intertwined.

Our earliest memories with plants often sprout from the seeds of curiosity and wonder, blossoming into stories of exploration, play, and learning. Whether it was sharing our secrets to the forest, working the gardens with parents or grandparents, or sensing the gentle touch of grass underfoot while engaged in play, these memories root us into the earth, grounding our being in the rest of the living world.

As you step into this meadow and follow the roped path, you are invited to become not merely an observer but a participant in a timeless dialogue between humanity and the rest of the living world. To slow down, to explore, to remember, to share. To unearth your knowing of other stories and connections possible.”
