The South London Botanical Institute is a vital community learning space focused on plants, people and civic participation. We are dedicated to creating learning and research opportunities that embolden curiosity and participation in some of the most pressing environmental, cultural and social issues of our time. The SLBI has been at the forefront of interesting people in south London and beyond in plants, fungi and other organisms classified as plants at the time of its foundation in 1910. Our resources include a botanical garden, botanical library and herbarium that is open to all. We also have learning spaces, meeting rooms and a community kitchen. We run regular plant-related walks, workshops, talks and projects.

Who is behind Creative Connection?
Julie says: 'Life, people, and possibilities deeply inspire me, and I am passionate about bringing the community together and encouraging others to develop a better understanding and appreciation of the arts and creativity as a tools for well being. Supporting human skills and creativity has never been more important, especially in a world that’s increasingly relying on technology to support and nurture human connection. Creative Chance is my opportunity to use my passion and knowledge to empower people to make creative expression and ‘responses’ a reality for everyone, so they can develop their own personal creative toolkit and use it as a precious resource any time they need it in life. I fight for social equality and the rights that everyone has to lead a safe and healthy life, filled with opportunities for learning, creativity and fun. I teach with sensitive care to each individual as everyone is unique.'
