About the book
Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants is Robin Wall Kimmerer's bestselling collection of essays weaving together Indigenous ecological knowledge, scientific botany, and personal narrative. Since its 2013 publication by Milkweed Editions it has spent years on the New York Times bestseller list and become one of the most influential modern books about the relationship between people and plants. Chapters move through sweetgrass, strawberries, water lilies, and white pine, and through the larger idea of reciprocity: what it means to treat the living world as a gift rather than a resource.
About the author
Robin Wall Kimmerer is a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation, a professor of environmental and forest biology at SUNY-ESF, and the founding director of the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment. Her training as a botanist and her Indigenous heritage give the book its distinctive double vision.

I go to the Herb Stomp locations on Belmont and Sandy. The staff there have always been knowledgeable, gracious, and welcoming. I particularly like discovering new products that I would not have ordering my purchases from an online vendor. 5/5 would go again.
