In several seminars, the literary scholar Dr. Constanze Baum from the HU Berlin dealt with the role of plants as literary motifs. Together with her students, she examined the significance, form and function of plants in literature across a broad spectrum of literatures and text genres.

The Digital Network Collections project has supported the lecturer in presenting the results of the seminars in a virtual exhibition for the interested public.

The virtual exhibition has been open to the public since June 2023.
