從土地到餐桌：向世界公開台灣可食花草的風景｜Root to Table: Bringing Taiwan’s Edible Flowers and Herbs to the World

Oftentimes, realizing a dream is not the work of one person alone, but the result of many beliefs intertwined — a web of shared visions holding each other up.

Root to Table began with a simple question from curator Ling Tsung-Yung:
Can Taiwan’s edible flowers and herbs be brought onto the world stage?
Like a seed, this question attracted a group of like-minded individuals — people who cherish the land and value nature. With the perspective of co-curator Ko Pi-Ling and the connections provided by many friends, the dream list of participants gradually came to life, and so began this journey of rediscovery.

Root to Table is both an exhibition and a “floral shop you can eat.”
Every flower and leaf in the space comes from this land’s most familiar landscapes — edible flowers and herbs, sacred plants from Indigenous cultures, overlooked fruit blossoms discarded during harvest, and even wild plants encountered in everyday life.

Through this exhibition, we hope to invite more people to see Taiwan’s botanical landscape from a new perspective — to rediscover the flowers and herbs that have quietly surrounded us all along, and to understand this land in a deeper way.
