72 Seasons
27 June - 1 July: The Scent of Roses Fills the Air
There are over three hundred species of rose, though it is argued by some horticulturists that some of the species are so similar to one another, that they could in fact be a variation of the same species. Roses are used in a number of different ways, such as for perfume, in food and drink and in medicine, among others. Smell a rose, let the floral scent wash over you. Does it trigger any flash memories? Do you have a favourite rose?
72 Seasons is a creative project, which can encourage a deeper connection to nature and improve wellbeing at the same time.
