Mission by Drukpa 'Ivy' Konvolvul

To find out which plants are a part of human culture, collect locations, images and field notes about ethnobotanically recognised plants. You can choose to collect edible and medicinal plants, or plants that appear in myths and legends, in sayings and folk-beliefs. You can collect plants that are able to alter our moods and thoughts, make us change states from sleep to wakefulness.

Collect photographs and notes about the plants you find in a physical or digital notebook. Record your the locations of your findings on a map. This can be a printed map that you can hang on your wall, or you can share your discoveries with the rest of the world through a digital map, such as Boskoi.
