Science Art and Writing Workshop The Global Garden: Science Art and Writing Workshop 30 June 2017, Norwich, venue tbc This Science, Art and Writing workshop presents an opportunity for people with an interest in biodiversity to break down the barriers between art and science by coming together to inform and inspire each other through creative writing and art. Plants produce a stunning array of chemicals, many of which are valuable natural products used by humans. Some of the most interesting plant species are found in remote locations across the globe where often indigenous people have a long standing relationship with the natural products they produce. The workshop will begin with real plant case studies and a discussion of the aims of scientists in using them. Harnessing these scientific ideas and images, participants will then be invited to give their personal response to the relationship between plants, chemicals and people through poetry and collaborative art. The resulting work will then be used by academics for further research in the field.
