My childhood was spent in plant- diverse locations on field trips to places where nature flourished, where wild flowers spread in riotous colour, and where insects buzzed and crept and bounced. Perhaps not surprising when both my parents were Botanists.
I feel I must speak the word “hello” to the landscape as if addressing an old friend.
Diverse landscapes are resilient landscapes however large or small.
Protecting and re-creating healthy natural eco systems worldwide will give us a much greater resilience in the face of climate change and environmental damage and pollution.
