> Psychobotany: psycho (from the Greek psyche meaning mind or soul);
> botany (the study of plants).
>
> Psychobotany cultivates a cultural terrain that includes a wide
> array of efforts at human/plant communication. Artists, scientists,
> subcultures, religions, activists, and visionaries all share plots
> in the field of Psychobotany. Combining elements of scientific
> truth, spiritual beliefs, aesthetic savvy, and social expression,
> Psychobotany is a fertile ground where the diverse cultural roots
> of human/plant communication can take hold.
>
> Psychobotany blazes a meandering trail between the strict
> constraints of objective, peer-reviewed, rationalism and the
> unrestrained embrace of uncritical idealism. Along the way, one can
> expect to find military scientists rubbing shoulders with druids;
> tree-sitters cavorting with tech wizards; and conceptual artists
> conspiring with herbalists.
