I also enclose details of what looks like an interesting event at Kew
Ethnobotany at Kew
Kew is hosting an open day to showcase current research and practice
in
ethnobotany. There will be about 20 displays on topics including wild
foods
and medicines, pharmacognosy of British medicinal plants, Asian
spices,
traditional herbs, British home gardens, basket-making, the baobab
tree, a
large display of ethnographic textiles and fibres, and a
mini-festival of
ethnobotanical films. There will be ample opportunity to handle plant
material and talk to researchers. The event is suitable for all ages,
families welcome.
The event runs 11am to 4pm and entry is FREE, so long as an e-ticket
is
pre-booked by emailing education@therai.org.uk
<mailto:education@therai.org.uk>
(still available as at the 27th)
Holders of Kew season tickets/Friends passes, or reciprocal national
museum
staff pass holders, can enter through any public gate and make their
way to
the Jodrell building - no ticket required.
It should be a fun day, so if you are within easy reach of London,
please
join us.
