This bed cultivates plants that address women's health concerns. It highlights the ongoing assault on women's reproductive rights by cultivating plants historically used by midwives, crones, herbalists and modern-day witches to care for women's bodies. The plants also explore issues of ageism, post and anti-reproduction issues, and "transmenopause": a neologism to explore womanhood beyond biology and fertility.
