Natural Intelligence: Lessons from Plant Life with Christina Owen, president and CEO of Seattle Botanic Gardens As our society becomes more digitally oriented with the infiltration of artificial intelligence into many of our daily experiences, opportunities to connect to nature are more important than ever. The green spaces and gardens that enable that connection are equally important. Explore the lessons that can be learned from the “natural intelligence” inherent in plant life and learn how the new Seattle Botanic Gardens is working to connect plants, people and place in one of the most technologically wired cities in the US. Speaker’s bio: In her role at Seattle Botanic Gardens, Christina oversees operations and management of the Washington Park Arboretum, the Center for Urban Horticulture and public programming at the Seattle Japanese Garden. She is deeply committed to public engagement, science communication, inclusive outreach, and connection with diverse communities. Connecting plants and people has been the common thread through her wide-ranging career: prior to joining the SBG, she served as the director of the University of Washington Botanic Gardens, spent 11 years as a senior program officer in agricultural development at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and covered science and the environment for public radio in rural Colorado. She has a PhD in the evolutionary genetics of monkey-flowers from the University of Washington.
