Abstract | In this article, the author describes how to bring Paulo Freire (or his ideas) into a learning group that visits the Botanic Gardens as part of a horticultural course and how her experiences at an art exhibition on two different occasions (both in Ireland and Sweden) impacted on her work as a teacher. As a result of working with students and teaching them in the garden, engaging with them on different field trips and reflecting on these and her own personal expeditions, the author has developed a personal sense of connection with the world. In hindsight from re-examination of the academic subject and herself, she has learned that horticulture opens up many possible avenues of discussion with the students. In fact the subject is an opportunity to learn about the environment and the preservation of the world that is central to one's survival. The author stresses that through adult education there are opportunities for educators to take responsibility for their world and how they live and to convince others that they can do the same.
