Our project wrangler @emilyxarmstrong is currently running a mini 5-part workshop with pollination ecologist @mirandabeegirl - funded by @BritishEcolSoc & explores an important Q:
"How can we make plant science education, practice and research more equitable and inclusive?"
17 Jun 2023
Four beautiful photos capturing @MirandaBeeGirl & I's first #Hortecology session at @Hidden_Gardens on 16th. Funding from @BritishEcolSoc & more!
Discussions included pollinator ecologies, plant histories, carbon capture, nature-belonging - a truly brilliant start 🐝🪲🌱🌿
