What does nature mean to you?

What Does Nature Mean To You? Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh

During a winter drop-in workshop at Edinburgh Botanics, visitors of all ages were invited to ponder the question: what does nature mean to you? Each participant was given a blank postcard and access to a diverse array of collage materials, including old botanical books (with out of date science, but striking images), gardening magazines and seed catalogues. Participants took their ideas in various creative directions, reflecting on their connection to nature. Themes included, personal gardens, access to nature, wilderness, plants, wildlife, food production and the climate crisis.

Following the event I was asked to curate and mount all of the artwork into a collaborative composition. The resulting piece is now on display at the Botanic Cottage, a venue which hosts projects with community groups.
