Royal Botanic Gardens Annual Report 2020-2021

Rooted in sustainability and crafted as a creative journal narrated through the founder's perspective, this annual report serves as a mirror reflecting the potential consequences for our planet and future if sustainability is not woven into our daily existence. The somber shades of olive green depict a world in decline, shrouded in darkness, rejection, and uninhabitability. In stark contrast, the white pages symbolize a world sustained, nurtured, and preserved—a powerful visual commentary on the critical choices we face in shaping our collective future.
