Gathering Moss is fantastic and offers an extraordinary point of
view on the natural world
*Natalie Portman*
Soulful, accessible... informed by both western science and
indigenous teachings alike ... Kimmerer blends, with deep
attentiveness and musicality, science and personal insights to tell
the overlooked story of the planet's oldest plants
*Guardian*
Beneath your feet, barely visible to the eye, is another world: a
rainforest in miniature ... Read Kimmerer's book and you're
unlikely ever again to waste precious gardening time scraping moss
from paving stones.
*Observer*
Beautiful ... Her scientific training and knowledge of plants from
her Potawatomi heritage create a unique lens, teaching us how to
look and watch... Reading this has made me stop to wondrously
admire any patch of moss I come across.
