“…In the 19th century, the gardeners mostly came to Estonia and Livonia from Germany (Plath 2012: 50-52;Sander et al 2014;Pūka et al 2010: 31-49) and hence the ideas of what could be planted in the Baltics and what not were brought along from Central Europe. At that time, horticulture was "both a representation of power and social engagement" (Plath 2012: 47).…”

Urban trees are considered to be essential and integral to urban environments, to contribute to the biodiversity of cities as well as to the well-being of their inhabitants. In addition, urban trees may also serve as living memorials, helping to remember major social eruptions and to cement continuity with the past, but also as social disruptors that can induce clashes between different ideals of culture. In this paper, we focus on a specific case, a Ginkgo biloba specimen growing at Süda Street in the centre of Tallinn, in order to demonstrate how the shifts in the meaning attributed to a non-human organism can shape cultural memory and underlie social confrontations. Integrating an ecosemiotic approach to human-non-human interactions with Juri Lotman’s approach to cultural memory and cultural space, we point out how non-human organisms can delimit cultural space at different times and how the ideal of culture is shaped by different ways of incorporating or other species in the human cultural ideal or excluding them from it.

“…Mikhail Tswett and Teodor Lippmaa were initially botanists, [17] but became recognized later by the chemist community. It is surprising that Tswett and Lippmaa are not cited in a history of analytical chemistry in Estonia covering the 19th and half of the twentieth century [18].…”

In 2010, in this Journal, I described two memorials in Tartu, Estonia, honouring scientists who worked on the development of chromatography, Teodor Lippmaa and Mikhail Semyonovich Tswett 1 (Михаил Семëнович Цвет) [1]. The University of Tartu, founded in 1632 and reopened after various vicissitudes in 1802, 2 has a long tradition in science and chemistry [2]. Its reopening took place under the initiative of George-Frederic Parrot [3], a German-speaking mathematician, physicist and chemist born in France. 3 As reported in my 2010 note, during visits to the University of Tartu, I discovered a plaque (Fig. 2) in the University botanical garden (Fig. 1) commemorating the contribution of Mikhail Tswett to the Tartu Botanical Garden in 1917 and 1918.
