The Light Between Apple Trees stretches the hearts and minds of readers toward a new, but age-old way of being in nature. A naturalist, birder, and award-winning writer, Priyanka Kumar illuminates the gift of the land as she takes readers on journeys to historic and wild fruit orchards, to ancient forests, and along pollinator corridors.
At a time when we're suddenly talking a lot about the environment and climate change, is it just that-talk? What does it mean to live a life that engages with the land? For if we aren't reading the land, how can we feel its rhythms? How can we know how those rhythms are changing with global warming?
Everywhere Kumar turns, she sees the disconnect between our lives and the crisis our planet faces. To help bridge this gulf, she shows us ways to connect with nature, and details her experiences. Her book includes guidance on:
Foraging
Reading the land's ecology
Planting rare varieties of fruit trees
Cultivating microbe-rich soil
Growing healing herbs, and edible flowers
Inviting over pollinators, and birds
This book is for gardeners, armchair gardeners, and people trying to make sense of our climate-challenged times. When we deepen our engagement with the land and its birds and animals, it's possible we'll find our lives-and the land itself-being transformed in astonishing ways.
