How, she asks, can we learn from indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most?Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival.The Serviceberry is an antidote to the broken relationships and misguided goals of our times, and a reminder that “hoarding won’t save us, all flourishing is mutual.”Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 187mmItem Length: 114mmItem Width: 25mmItem Weight: 500gAuthor: Robin Wall KimmererGenre: Home Garden & PetsIllustrator: John BurgoyneContributor: John Burgoyne (Illustrated by)Topic: Science Nature & MathRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
