A Celebration of Poetry and Native Plants
Welcome April! In celebration of both National Poetry Month and Earth Day, we have partnered with the Native Plant Society of New Jersey, Montclair State University, and The Nature of Reading Bookshop for an inspired reading of rich, contemporary gardening poems that celebrate our desire to tend the nonhuman world around us.
The readings are from Leaning Toward Light: Poems for Gardens & the Hands That Tend Them by Tess Taylor and Ann E. Wallace, co-hosts of The WildStory Podcast. In addition to the poetry, the program will feature practical tips from native plant expert Dr. Randi Eckel in a highly anticipated, first-live Q&A session of Ask Randi. A book signing and copies of Leaning Toward Light will be available for sale through The Nature of Reading Bookshop. Space is limited, so registration is required.
