$Evening meeting - Plants of place \u2013 mana whenua connection to whakapapa and identity$

Speaker: Maria Rodgers, PhD candidate and teaching fellow.
Maria studies and teaches landscape architecture at Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington. In her teaching and research she seeks to learn more and share what plants can do in our urban public space. She will speak about how the benefits of having plants that were naturally occurring in the past in our urban public spaces can go beyond human and ecological wellbeing, place identity, and climate benefits, to contribute to decolonisation and to justice.
