(Why Listen?)
"When we regard a plant, we usuÂally only see what’s above the surÂface: stems, trunks, branches, leaves, buds and flowÂers. But there’s so much more below ground – intriÂcate nets of roots, radiÂcles and fungal bodies through which water, nutriÂents, knowlÂedge and comÂmuÂnity flows. Plants are always conÂnected, always talkÂing and lisÂtenÂing to each other, even in the most conÂstructed of landÂscapes. A plant knows and makes worlds; it is always in comÂmuÂniÂcaÂtion with others. Through root-lisÂtenÂing, through pracÂtices of sharÂing words, time — and seeds — can we culÂtiÂvate a vegÂetable-based conÂsciousÂness?"
