ISEA attendees and free audience, in the now traditional art and
science
methodologies of <i>fieldtrips </i>and <i>walkspaces, The
Traveling Plant </i>is
walked through five Stations to uncover a new understanding of
this specific

garden through some
selected plants and areas, bringing to the forefront stories
—historical,
economical, political and botanical— that the plants are
embodying. The Tour is
