“A beautiful volume to appeal to the armchair gardener and historian alike…She connects plant lovers from over the centuries and offers insight into nature’s tenacity.”
Toronto Star
Award-winning and beloved author Helen Humphreys discovers her local herbarium and realizes we need to look for beauty in whatever nature we have left―no matter how diminished.
Helen Humphreys returns to her series of nature meditations in this gorgeously written book that takes a deep look at the forgotten world of herbariums and the people who amassed collections of plant specimens in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
From Emily Dickinson’s and Henry David Thoreau’s collections to the amateur naturalists whose names are forgotten but whose collections still grace our world, herbariums are the records of the often humble plants that are still with us and those that are lost. Over the course of a year, Humphreys considers life and loss and the importance of finding solace in nature.
This is the perfect gift for Humphreys’s many fans and nature enthusiasts.
