Rooted? Plants and People in the City

How much do we really consider our entanglement with plants especially in the seeming unnatural environments of cities? 

In this tour, Museum of the Home’s Head Gardener, Bryn Hutchinson, you will encounter the intersections of nature and culture through the Museum's trees and gardens to ask: where does the natural world end and culture begin - and does it matter? 

Plants and people have an intimate and extended shared history. We have co-evolved with plants and landscapes, and we continue to be in close physical proximity to plants throughout our day. Plants, and nature, signify important values in a climate change world.  

While seemingly divorced from nature and places of belonging, the city might be a richer and more deeply rooted place of cultural and biological fusion than you may have realised.
