Location: St Boniface Church Rooms
Rarely does a minute go by when we are not involved in an activity that would be impossible without the help of plants. The talk looks at mankind’s dependance on plants for everything from food to film and from painkillers to paint. It also examines what we do for plants and how we can keep up with demand from an increasing global population and also what we as individuals can do to help future generations.
