Production
Lucid BlackFor the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, the Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh and NatureScot were collectively invited to create plant installations for ten key negotiation rooms.

These rooms were designed according to eight representative biomes of the world:

Boreal forest
Temperate mixed forest (Northern Hemisphere)
Tropical rainforest
Temperate broadleaf forest (Southern Hemisphere)
Mediterranean shrubland
Temperate grassland
Desert arid biome
Urban biome

Driven by the principles of ikebana, 56 large scale arrangements were created using materials that were sustainably sourced from collaborating sites across Scotland (Royal Botanic Gardens Edinburgh, Logan Botanic Gardens and NatureScot reserves).
