Planthunter Launch Party
You don’t have to have a green thumb to celebrate the take-off of this new magazine.
Overview
When you hear the word ‘culture’, botany probably isn’t the first things that come to mind. Art, music and literature sound slightly more familiar. But that’s all about to change with the launch of The Planthunter, an online magazine that explores the organic connection between plants and people. It’s like culture gets a dose of your mum’s House & Garden.
And you know it’ll be cool, since its run by the woman behind the delightful string gardens workshop, Georgina Reid. The theme of this first issue: death. Sounds ironic, but the careful eye can recognise the beauty of vegetal life that springs from death and decay.
The November 14 launch party will commence in the ever-so-fitting cemetery of St Stephens Anglican Church in Newtown. Join Reid and forager Diego Bonetto for a promenade amongst the trees, weeds and graves as they share stories of life, death and plants. If cemeteries creep you out, join them for a sunset rooftop soiree later on to celebrate while sipping on botanical cocktails and nibbling on vegetal treats.
The cemetery tour will commence at 6pm and the afterparty begins at 6.30pm at 243 King Street, Newtown. RSVP by November 8 to [email protected].
