thehub.earth guide to the week 12-18 April

What tasty morsels have we curated for you this week?

Ok let’s start with Social and Garden Historian @AdvollyR with @thegardenstrust helping us hear the less heard voices from the past and how Empire funded many of our well-known gardens; on Plant Appreciation Day we and @LinneanSociety ask ‘Are we disconnected from nature?’ and does this result in Plant Blindness? Next we move onto Prof. Nigel Dunnett and Anna Webster of Interrobang architects and discuss the role of urban greening. Its Rhododendron Craziness week with events from @NBGGlasnevin, @RCM_Group and @hodnethallgardens; Dr. Camilla Allen talks about Britain's rare tree cathedrals (YES TREE CATHEDRALS!), horticulturalist Laura Gatti, talks about Milan's Bosco Verticale hosted by @Radicepura, and we finish the week with a bang as we have all realised that modern life spawns ever increasing mental and physical health problems, @The_SGD highlights the topic of Therapeutic Gardens!
