Wonderground Journal: Issue Two ‘LOST’
The Planthunter
“Gardening, radicalised. Making friends with endangered trees. Growing wheat in downtown Manhattan. The gifts of other-motherhood. New ways of being with nature. When nearly everything was burnt, the old tree was saved. The exquisite silence of slugs. First Nations voices leading climate conversations. In praise of quiet landscapes. Moving a family garden, tree by tree, rock by mossy rock. Becoming intimate with disappearance. The wonder of getting lost.”
