Botanica is a weekend-long celebration of Ethnobotany: the intimate relationship between humans and plants.
Join us as we delve into the deep-rooted connections between plants and people. Since the dawn of civilization, plants have played a vital role in shaping human existence, providing food, shelter, medicine, textiles, art, and spiritual significance.
Our interactive workshops explore the diverse ways the history of humans and plants has been woven together to create a rich tapestry of plant knowledge. With hands-on experiences and thought-provoking workshops, the festival showcases the threads of ancestral knowledge, cultural heritage, and traditional practices, fostering more profound understanding, appreciation, and connection with the world of flora.
Today, as we face environmental challenges and seek sustainable practices, our shared history with plants offers valuable lessons. By understanding the intimate relationship between plants and people, we can cultivate a renewed appreciation for the natural world and work towards a harmonious coexistence that benefits both.
