  • The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World
    Thoughts from 3% (page 3- Ethnobotanists)

    "Ethnobotanists know that the more names a plant has, the greater its cultural importance."

    For anyone like me who was super interested by what exactly an Ethnobotanist is, Ethnobotany is an interdisciplinary field of study that blends natural and social sciences together to look at our relationships to plants. Specifically examining a cultural group and their relationships to the native plants around them. Something I am truly fascinated by and want to learn more about. And based on what I know about Robin Wall Kimmerer, I am assuming this book (as well as her other ones) is at the very least influenced by this academic field of study. So I am excited to dive into it more.

    Can I just say, I absolutely adore when authors narrate their own books. It feels so intimate and intentional, I am really excited to listen to Robin Wall Kimmerer share her writings how she intended 🥰
