<\/div> Gardens, poetry and kinship await you this spring.<\/p>\n <\/span> CNET<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n As a self-defined plant nerd, I learn and write about crops at any time when I can. I am embark<\/em>ing on a brand new plant e-book venture and lately picked up three books for “analysis.” Gathering Moss: A Pure and Cultural Historical past of Moss<\/a><\/span> by Robin Wall Kimmerer, an Indigenous author, scientist and naturalist, wowed me along with her e-book Braiding Sweetgrass, so I dove into her earlier works, together with this one.
