Reading the Flowers began during Linda France’s 2010-11 Leverhulme Residency at Moorbank, Newcastle University’s Botanic Garden (now closed). This led to a tour of Botanic Gardens in the UK and abroad. Here nature and culture meet in poems looking at flowers cultivated and wild, trees in the garden and the rainforest, plants and creatures that live alongside them under the microscope of memory and imagination.
