A botanical experience created by Janet Laurence.
3.30-4.30pm, Level 1 galleries
 

This intimate tasting experience offers insight into the often-overlooked wonders and healing properties of the plants around us.

Why do plants taste different?

Desire (Elixir Lab) (2018–19) is an experiential botanical laboratory space for the tasting of medicinal plants in the form of liquid elixirs presented within Janet Laurence: After Nature. The experience is facilitated by a botanist performer with insights on the biochemical and cultural connections between the plants and our bodies.

Spaces limited, book early to avoid disappointment.
