Flowerpot Podcast: The One with Caroline Vitzthum (2022), The National Botanic Garden of Wales.



A recorded conversation between Caroline Vitzthum and Bruce Langridge, Head of Interpretation at the National Botanic Garden of Wales, reflecting on her experience as an Artist in Residence at the Garden. The discussion explores how time spent working on site and studying Sphagnum moss specimens in the Garden’s herbarium shaped her ongoing artistic research.

The exchange touches on the intersections between art, science, and environmental awareness, highlighting how the study of Sphagnum – a keystone species in peatland formation – has informed Caroline’s practice and deepened her interest in bryology. Together, they consider the role of artists in interpreting and communicating the significance of plant life, and how creative approaches can spark new forms of public engagement with ecological knowledge.
