This article addresses the potential of participatory approaches and processes of
co-creation in the context of botanical gardens. It examines how such approaches can
not only help cultural heritage sector organisations to engage with different members
of their public, but also how they can work with their communities to tackle globally
significant societal and environmental goals. Drawing on research conducted for the
EU-funded BigPicnic project, this article examines the methodological processes employed
by a large consortium of botanical gardens and presents some examples of exhibitions
and science cafés that attempted to both highlight issues of food security and sustainability
and foster forms of knowledge that go beyond the dichotomy between experts and non-experts.
A critical overview of the outcomes of this project serves to outline the potential
of co-creation for promoting sustainable food futures.
