Abstract

In this interview, landscape architect and author Céline Baumann explores how to design spaces that take into account the sexuality of plants and allow humans to consider their own desires in more vegetal ways. In conversation with this issue's editors, Baumann shows that an attention to the interconnectedness of plant and human bodies can become a means of promoting gender diversity, generating alternative narratives of plant/human exchange, and revising longstanding colonialist and nationalist ideas about the 'proper' place of plants in human history and human cities.
