Traveling Nature Journals

Traveling Nature Journals are the physical part of the Botanical Encounter project. They start their journeys from different places in the world and, with people's help, travel to the Herzogin Anna Amalia Bibliothek in Weimar, Germany.
Continuing the collaborative spirit of Codex Kentmanus, they are on a mission to collect diverse stories of plant-human encounters. They travel like plants, move on by being passed from one person to another, or tagging along with travelers.
