Gardens, poetry, and kinship await you this spring.
As a plant geek, I read and write about plants whenever I can. I mbarkingI’ve started a new vegan book project and recently acquired three books for “research.” Moss Collecting: A Natural and Cultural History of Mosses By Robin Wall Kemmerer, an Indigenous writer, scientist, and naturalist, impressed me with her book Braiding Sweetgrass, so I immersed myself in her earlier works, including this one. Fortunately, it’s also on sale: Down to $12 from the usual $19 retail price.
I also sink my teeth into Jared Farmer Elderflora: a modern history of ancient treeswhich includes everything from traditional horticultural traditions to the wild. the The paperback version is $15saving you $7.
Finally, I reaped My Favorite Flowers: Writers and gardeners on the plants they loveEdited and presented by Jamaica Kincaid. I’m a huge fan of Kincaid’s writing, so finding a book she put together that deals with gardening was exciting for me. Articles include Kincaid, Michael Pollan, Maxine Comyn, and more.
