“…Much of this work is therefore concerned with the mundane and the everyday, tracing close personal relationships between people and plants, notably within urban gardens (Bhatti et al, 2009;Ginn, 2014aGinn, , 2016Hosking and Palomino-Schalscha, 2016;Lang, 2018aLang, , 2018bMoore et al, 2015;Shillington, 2008) and urban forests (Jones and Instone, 2016;Phillips and Atchison, 2020;Shcheglovitova, 2020). As argued by Lang (2018b), there is an environmental imperative to learn more about the experiences of people and plants in everyday life in order to connect the socio-political aspects of how people live with their broader ecological impacts, particularly within cities (see Gandy and Jasper, 2020a). Alongside the marginally more established political ecology-style approaches to plant life in geography (see Argüelles and March, 2021;Fleming, 2017), much of the work which I locate within this strand of 'vegetal geography' borrows from the environmental humanities, considering how the everyday stories we tell about plants can provide new insights into how vegetal life is experienced, imagined and valued (Phillips and Atchison, 2020).…”
