A beautiful collection of nature‑rooted essays from some of today’s most thoughtful writers, This Book Is a Plant is an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and see the natural world with fresh eyes. Perfect for readers who love gentle living, creativity, ecology, and mindful routines.
New research shows that plants can think, plan - and may even have memories. We share our planet with beings whose potential we have only glimpsed. Featuring the writing of Robin Wall Kimmerer, Susie Orbach and Merlin Sheldrake, This Book is a Plant will be your handbook to the new reality: showing you a pathway to completely reimagine your relationship with a different kind of natural world. Delve into a world of moss and fungi: Sheila Watt-Cloutier transports us to the Arctic spring, Rowan Hisayo Buchanan discovers the pleasures of painting trees, and Rebecca Tamás puts roots down through earth and soil.
This edition is brand new, making it a lovely gift for anyone who enjoys nature writing, rewilding, or small daily rituals of grounding and calm.
Inside, you’ll find reflections on:
• Reconnecting with the outdoors in simple, accessible ways
• Creativity, curiosity, and paying attention to the world around you
• How plants can teach us to grow, rest, adapt, and begin again
• Essays that feel like a deep breath — hopeful, grounding, and quietly transformative
Ideal for fans of Kerri ní Dochartaigh, Katherine May, Robert Macfarlane, Merlin Sheldrake, and anyone building a slower, more intentional life.
