Stay-at-Home Stories

Stay-at-Home Stories

Most of us are living strange, upended lives these days–isolated and indoors, struggling to maintain precious connections to family and friends. In many cases, our access to the out-of-doors and to the soothing power of the natural world is severely limited. Writing a “stay-at-home” story about a plant could be a good way to remind us of our connections both to nature and to many lives–human and nonhuman–that sustain us from day to day. We invite you to post a “‘Stay-at-Home’ Plant Story” to Herbaria 3.0!

Text only is fine, but please fell free to upload images Please include your contact information so that we can let you know when your Stay-at-Home Story is published.
