This MA social practice project has been an immense effort, but, without some amazing people surrounding me and offering their support, advice, technical assistance, and love, this digital publication would not have truly not been possible! I’m filled with gratitude.
Firstly, thanks to Roxane Permar for her guidance, patience, and always encouraging words throughout the whole duration of the master programme. Additional thanks to Anne Bevan, Nicola Naismith, Siun Carden.
Thank you to Gudrun Zacharias-Maurer who is a wonderful friend and offered me great advice to help me with the layout.
Also thank you to Ruth Switalksi, my mentor, friend, future collaborator who always went an extra mile to find some additional references for me and highlighted my approach and the value of my plantstallation practice.
Thank you to Sharon MacGregor who did an extraordinary job with the proofreading.
Thank you to Alison Durbin, Chris Geddes, Elaine Smith, Iona Durbin, Jenna Durbin, Nitika Macrae, Sharon MacGregor, Tyler Lewis for being my ‘test’ participants of the workshop settings and providing thought provoking and sincere reflections of their experiences.
Many thanks to my amazing friend Alessandra Campoli for reading through my booklets and contributing constructive feedback.
Much love and huge thanks to my incredible parents, all of them: Mama & Guntram, Monika & Papa, Sandy & Doug.
And the biggest thanks of all to my dedicated, incredible, amazingly loving husband, Tyler. Thank you so much for the patience and endless love, through all the ups and downs! Thank you for supporting me on my MA journey by talking through ideas with me, foraging for plants together, and keeping my confidence up… I am filled with eternal gratitude.
