Does a bee choose which flower to visit, or does the flower choose its preferred pollinator?
Why do plants produce flowers with different colours, patterns and aromas?
Do roots have relationships with other species too?

WEDNESDAY 24th SEPTEMBER 6 – 7.30pm
We’re thrilled to welcome author Kent Hung on Wednesday 24th September for a special evening celebrating the release of his third novel, “Stary Stary Night”.
This story concludes his moving trilogy that began with “Letting Go” and “Entitled”—three novels that explore compassion, peace, and the journey of finding closure with the past in order to move forward in life.
Join us for an inspiring conversation with Kent Hung about his writing, the themes behind the trilogy, and what it means to truly heal.
