[Newleaf] Talk : Medicinal Plants in the Landscape

[ks12 at hampshire.edu]

> Hi All –
> I’ll be giving a presentation titled:Medicinal plants in the  
> Landscape: catalysts for restoration at Smith College on Monday,  
> February 11th at 2:40pm. The location of the talk is at Wright Hall  
> in the Weinstein auditorium.
> Restoration in the landscape typically means ecological restoration  
> like the restoration of coastline after Katrina, or human health  
> restoration – through practices like horticultural therapy. A  
> question that drives my design practice is how to get people into  
> the landscape and deepen their connections to the world around them.  
> That question led me to my next question and the premise of this  
> talk – Can medicinal plants in the landscape be a means to restore  
> not only macro scale ecological systems, but also micro scale  
> systems like our day-to-day health? I’ll share several projects that  
> explore those questions and feature medicinal plants as part of an  
> overall design response.
> Hope to see you there! Please pass this on to anyone who you think  
> might be interested…..Thank you.
