If you were at the Farm to Table dinner last Fall at JBUC, you will have heard Karen read from the book BRAIDING SWEETGRASS: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer. In Braiding Sweetgrass, Kimmerer takes us on a journey that is as mystical as it is scientific; her words are a hymn of love to the world. From Jane Goodall: “Robin Wall Kimmerer has written an extraordinary book, showing how the factual, objective approach of science can be enriched by the ancient knowledge of ... Indigenous people. It is the way she captures beauty that I love the most--the images of giant cedars and wild strawberries, a forest in the rain and a meadow of fragrant sweetgrass will stay with you long after you read the last page."
