Step into the mysterious world of wild plants and uncover the secrets that grow in our fields and gardens. Join gardener Danny Clarke, Plantlife Specialist Botanical Advisor Sarah Shuttleworth and pastoral literature scholar Francesca Gardner for a lively evening exploring the power and poetry of plants.

From the crucial role of wildflowers in tackling the climate crisis to the surprising history of “lawnmower poetry,” our expert panel will dig into how plants shape our gardens, communities and imaginations. Learn how to make space for nature in your own outdoor spaces and discover how the humble daisy or dandelion could be saving the world.

The event will be live streamed on the day on the Living Knowledge website and the recording will be available after. Visit the website here for more information.
