As a young girl, Dr. Diana Beresford-Kroeger, (Our Green Heart) was educated by elders in the Brehon knowledge of plants and nature, wisdom she integrated into her work as a visionary research scientist. Kate Neville (Going to Seed) shares an interest in fusing science with literature and religious philosophies and traditions. Their passion and advocacy for the natural world just might change your own relationship with nature—and hopefully inspire you to plant a tree!
