The Oxford Botanic Garden

This week was the first “Winter Wonders” lunchtime talk at the Oxford Botanic Garden for the year. The timing couldn’t be better as I have exactly one hour for lunch between classes and the talks happen in just the right spacing to allow me to get there, enjoy the 20 minute wellbeing talk focused on one plant in the garden each week, then make it back to college in time to wolf something down and get back to class again. This week the talk was on snowdrops, which are mythologically associated with Imbolc and Candlemas, so a timely way to connect with nature as well as to enjoy the beautiful architecture of the garden. The rain was encroaching, but I stayed dry and had a lovely time.
