Botanical worksheets designed to serve during the workshop with citizens, Nature and us: botany, traditional knowledge and literature in our environment. The workshop consisted of an ethnobotanical, literary and artistic itinerary, from a library in Barcelona to the Maternity Gardens, where the activity took place.

The activity highlighted our connection and coexistence with nearby species through traditional knowledge, becoming aware of sensations (views, sounds, smells, textures, tastes) and feelings (comfort, tranquility, discomfort ...). Participants were encourage to draw, write or sketch on the given cards or worksheets, which also contained several poems by Catalan writers rendering homage to the different plants we explored in the gardens. Audiences can download and use the worksheets to engage with the vegetal environment by writing, reciting, drawing or sharing knowledge multidisciplinarily.

The workshop was led by a team of professors and researchers from the Pharmacy and Food Sciences Faculty and the Fine Arts Faculty of the University of Barcelona, ​​as well as the director of the Botanical Institute of Barcelona (IBB, CSIC-Barcelona City Council): Eva Figueras (Fine Arts), Teresa Garnatje (IBB), Mar Redondo (Fine Arts) and Joan Vallès (Pharmacy and Food Sciences). The group has been working on projects together since 2019, sharing scientific and artistic perspectives.
