A family workshop exploring plant-writing, storytelling, and zine-making.

Create a handmade zine that brings together plants, stories, drawings, and personal observations.Inspired by Inheritors of Earth and its exploration of phytography, or plant-writing, the workshop invites families to discover how plants and trees can carry stories, memories, and ideas. Using a simple folded-booklet format, participants combine drawing, collage, and writing to create their own visual narratives.

What stories might a tree hold? How might a leaf carry traces of a place, or a tree become a living archive of memory? Using these questions as starting points, participants gather observations, ideas, and personal reflections, bringing together plant forms, words, images, and stories.

The workshop encourages families to slow down, observe closely, share stories, and experiment with language and visual expression. Each family creates a unique zine shaped by their own observations and interpretations of plant life, memory, and place.
