Stories from Plants and Continents

Garden visitors are invited to experience a collection of presentations by students from Professor Kim Anno’s California College of the Arts Parks, Environment, and Leisure design class. “Stories from plants and the continents” will be a series of 5-minute stories inspired by the global collections of the UC Botanical Garden held in two locations.

Students will use science, histories, cultural references, posters, tea ceremony, and more to present the wonder and uses of plants from various continents found in the Botanical Garden. This includes Chinese Medicinal plants, Asian blossoms and plants, Mediterranean, African, and Australian plants.

Everyone is welcome. Presentations will start in the Redwood Grove amphitheater at 1pm and move to the Oak Knoll at 2pm for the second half. Join us and learn more about plants around the world and their associative histories and culture.
