In collaboration with Watermark Woods, Birch Tree Bookstore and Loudoun County Public Library, join Loudoun Wildlife Conservancy for the next Read! Plant! Grow! book club meeting at Birch Tree Bookstore in Leesburg. At this meeting we’ll discuss the book The Service Berry by Robin Wall Kimmerer. As this Indigenous scientist and author of Braiding Sweetgrass harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the “gift economy.” How, she asks, can we learn from Indigenous wisdom and the plant world to reimagine what we value most?
You can either buy the book from Birch Tree Bookstore or contact Allison Forbes at [email protected] to borrow a copy of the book at the library. There are two ways to participate: attend the event online via the library website or sign up to participate in person at Birch Tree Bookstore.
