When we regard a plant, we usually only see what’s above the surface: stems, trunks, branches, leaves, buds and flowers. But there’s so much more below ground – intricate nets of roots, radicles and fungal bodies through which water, nutrients, knowledge and community flows. Plants are always connected, always talking and listening to each other, even in the most constructed of landscapes. A plant knows and makes worlds; it is always in communication with others. Through root-listening, through practices of sharing words, time - and seeds - can we cultivate a vegetable-based consciousness?

Please note: Meet at the Lychee Lawn at 1:00 for 1:30 start.

This is a free event. No bookings or reservations are necessary but seating is limited; we recommend you bring a picnic blanket.

We walk from Lychee Lawn to the Tropical Dome and back to the Lychee Lawn over the course of the event.

The Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens are wheelchair accessible.
