Leaves on Leaves and Screens: Engaging with Plants through Time was a pop-up display showcasing some of the beautiful botanical treasures from gentleman botanist Richard Warner's 1775 bequest to Wadham, alongside some more recent examples of the use of botany and botanical imagery in books and visual media.
The exhibition was co-curated by Wadham's Rare Books Cataloguer Alison Felstead (who also works at Batsford Arboretum) and our 4th-year undergraduate biologist Weina Jin, who is working on a Master's project with the Oxford Herbaria.
