Artober: Tracy Qui, artfully exploring how plants, stories, and cultures intersect

This week on CP, host Abra Lee is joined in conversation by Tracy Qiu, a horticulturist, researcher, and advocate who explores how plants, stories, and culture intersect. Tracy holds a masters in Public Horticulture from the University of Delaware, is a Longwood Fellow, and is finishing her doctoral thesis at Concordia University in Montreal. Her work explores the colonial roots of botanical gardens. Tracy and Abra will explore Tracy’s journey from her family’s beginnings on a farm in China to studying ethnobotany and advocating for greater diversity, access, and narrative justice in horticulture.
