Talking to Plants

To the Best of Our Knowledge

    Botanist Robin Kimmerer describes her field experiments as like interviewing a plant. She believes nature is full of living beings – rocks and water as well as plants and animals. As both a Ph.D biologist and a member of the Potawatomi Naiton, she’s trying to reconcile modern science with the wisdom of her Native elders.
