In this symposium we present more-than-human solidarity using our relationship with plants as a guide. Drawing on ‘undisciplined’ research and art, we reappraise colonial legacies through plants, unravel the work of ‘restoration’ and explore the meanings of being in solidarity with plants to re-imagine worldmaking as a practice of care
