What kind of plants would you want around for the end of the world? Plants are our partners in life and in death. They signal the coming of the apocalypse, heal us and harm us, provide nourishment through extreme experiences, or help us cope with our mental health in challenging ecological times. We will explore the entanglements of plant-human-environment relationships through the lenses of the four horsemen of the apocalypse: death, war, famine, and plague. What can we, as human participants, learn from these relationships through space and time? Drop in to hear from UW-Madison community members about these multi-dimensional perspectives that can affect the health of humans and non-humans alike.
