About
At Merridale Botanical Garden, forty-one healthy plants have been separated from their accession labels during a past greenhouse rebuild. When a biscuit tin of old labels turns up in the records room, seven adults from horticulture, archives, education and public programmes compare evidence, care needs and imperfect memories. Over four ordinary days they decide what belongs on a public label, what belongs in a working care card, and how to preserve uncertainty without making a plant’s history up.
