Green Reads

Hello, fellow plant people—

As a “thank you” for your support and encouragement during Launch Week at Place & Thyme, I’d like to share three “green reads” I have enjoyed and can heartily recommend. Hope you enjoy them!

This Is Your Mind on Plants, by Michael Pollan. From the publisher: Of all the things humans rely on plants for—sustenance, beauty, medicine, fragrance, flavor, fiber—surely the most curious is our use of them to change consciousness: to stimulate or calm, fiddle with or completely alter, the qualities of our mental experience. In this unique blend of history, science, and memoir, as well as participatory journalism, Pollan holds up a mirror to our fundamental human needs and aspirations, the operations of our minds, and our entanglement with the natural world.
