On 9 August 1945, the second – & so far, last – nuclear weapon used in war fell on Nagasaki. One of the few things to survive the bomb was a persimmon tree. In 2002, the poet Gerry Loose brought a sapling from that tree to Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens

Happening tonight!
If you can't join in person, you can also watch online or save for later! All proceeds split between CND and Sands Films.
