Find the plant that travelled farthest to be here
“A botanical garden is easy to drift through without much of it sticking. Give yourself one question (which living thing here came from farthest away) and the whole place turns into a map of the planet.”
The Recipe
- Go to the nearest botanical garden, or the glasshouse in the nearest large park.
- Read the labels as you go; they usually name where each plant originally comes from.
- Keep a running answer to one question: which living thing here came from the farthest away?
- Go back and stand with your winner, and work out how it ever ended up on this exact patch of your city.
