Roots to Healing

We depend on plants for our well being. Our story is inextricably linked to theirs through the food, fiber, medicine and other benefits they provide. Roots to Healing: A Brief Survey of the Past, Present and Future of Plant-based Remedies in Minnesota, an exhibition organized by the College of Biological Sciences Conservatory, invites you to consider the historical, cultural, scientific and economic value of a handful of plants from around the globe that have taken root in Minnesota from the commonplace plantain to the rare Lady’s Slipper orchid or the controversial Cannabis.
