Exploration of Botanical Garden's Indigenous Plant Life
In the heart of Oxford, the UK's oldest botanic garden, a unique event is taking place this Halloween. The Ethnobotanical tour, led by Dr. Sarah Edwards, promises an enlightening journey through the world of exotic plants and their uses by various cultures.
Dr. Sarah Edwards, an Honorary Research Fellow at the UCL School of Pharmacy, is no stranger to the realm of botany. She also serves as the Plant Records Officer at the University of Oxford Botanic Garden and Arboretum, where she shares her passion for ethnobotany with students of Anthropology and teaches Ethnobiology and Biological Conservation at the Institute of Human Sciences.
The Ethnobotanical tour is a testament to Dr. Edwards' extensive knowledge and love for the subject. Participants can expect to hear captivating stories about exotic plants used by people around the world, including those with healing properties and those that can be deadly poisons.
The tour takes place within the ancient walls of the garden, adding an eerie yet enchanting atmosphere to the already fascinating subject matter. At the end of the tour, a signed copy of Dr. Edwards' book, The Ethnobotanical: A world tour of indigenous plant knowledge, can be purchased.
It's important to note that Dr. Edwards is also a member of the Board of the British Herbal Medicine Association, further emphasising her commitment to the field. However, a quick search reveals no activities of Dr. Edwards outside of her roles at the University of Oxford Botanic Garden and Arboretum and the UCL School of Pharmacy.
The Ethnobotanical tour is just one of the many events available at Oxford Botanic Garden and Arboretum, making it an ideal destination for anyone interested in learning more about the natural world. So, this Halloween, step into the ancient garden and embark on a journey through the world of ethnobotany with Dr. Sarah Edwards.
