Drawing from her experiences as an Indigenous scientist, botanist Robin Wall Kimmerer demonstrated how all living things—from strawberries and witch hazel to water lilies and lichen—provide us with gifts and lessons every day. This edition reinforces how wider ecological understanding comes from listening to the earth’s oldest teachers: the plants around us. Find informative sidebars, reflection questions, and art that shares Indigenous wisdom, scientific knowledge, and the lessons of plant life with younger generations.
