October 8: funerary plants
“Alive” is still the tradition of bringing flowers and plants to the deceased: but what are funeral plants symbolically and traditionally? What are chthonic plants? As All Saints Day approaches we will take a botanical journey into the "underground" world, where yew, broad bean, cypress, pomegranate and other species will guide us.
Appointment on Sunday 8 October at 10.30 am, in the company of Dr. Elizabeth Visentin, vice-president and scientific director of the Oannes association, where she deals with the valorization of botanical-medicinal culture in the historical and scientific fields.
