Plant epistemology is another way of looking at the world, and one that is deeply rooted in Indigenous knowledge and understanding. Plants have been on this Earth for millions of years before ourselves, and it seems ludicrous to think that they have not learned anything about the world. We can learn from their millenia of experience. In class, we talked a lot about how we translate the knowledge from plants. I agree that no matter what, if we are trying to communicate for the plants, then we are doing it through a human lens. I think that plants have their own way of communicating. As the readings taught us, plants are able to sense their surroundings, be it biotic or abiotic, and then react to them. Whether or not they are “sentient” is not an issue. Despite this, and due to their historic position as the foundation of the food chain, they are often overlooked as things that we should care about in terms of individual plants. I think using tools like art and music to describe how we feel about plants and how we think plants feel is not disadvantageous. But we should always return to the actual organism and just use the tools we have, our eyes, ears, noses, to perceive the plant in its entirety. They have their own music in how they rustle in the wind, its position tells parts of the cultural history it had a vital role in. I don’t think we can get the whole picture, but I believe that the plants are communicating with us, just in their own way.
