feeling nourished by our 2 day workshop on 'Queering Elements, Ecologies, Environments', of which this walk in @StABotanics led by Roxani Krystalli + beach reading group with @rowanlear and Nat Walpole were highlights; follow @BeyondRadical_ for more on what we talked about
Fabulous and fascinating encounter with the St Andrews Botanic garden facilitated by Roxani Krystalli. Thinking about knowledge and pleasure and the senses…and smelling the flowers!
