What a fantastic conversation with Sydney Kale about her personal experiences in co-authorship with plants and how the vegetal mind relates with language. In our Sprouts Writing & Creativity Group, we stretch ourselves every week to find new ways to create with plants, challenging human perspectives.

Working with plants in this way accentuates the intricate relationship between humans and plants, emphasizing the importance of forgiveness, listening, and understanding what plants want.
