Building on from her artworks and field report, the book artfully interweaves 10 essays from leading scholars, curators and local residents, as well as two archival collections from the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. The result is an intimate and multi-layered exploration towards the positive contribution of such non-native species in Britain’s contemporary ecology. Meanwhile, a re-trace of the rhododendron’s colonialism-assisted migration as well as a personal connection between the Chinese-British photographer and the plants help to underpin the potential harmful pairing of the two terms ‘non-native’ and ‘invasive’.
