Listened to the audiobook as I walked down the lanes, along tree lined fields....LOVE this book, and loved the author reading it to me. Beautifully written, lyrical, scientific, honest, captivating, so much.... am off to buy the hardcopy as this is one I will back to again and again.
Oh - and I am off to plant more trees, we are tree planters anyway but now I feel a connection to the book and Diana through our plantings, trees will save the world.

I wanted to like this more but like one review things did not always ring true. Lots of absolutes. Also I know someone who has propagated from the Brian Boru oak and had the pleasure of visiting those great grandchildren.
Captivating audiobook for a day trip along river road, narrated by the author, botanist and biochemist who has been named the "Jane Goodall" of the forest. It is both a biography and brief course in Druid knowledge of healing and their development of medicine. The book also walks through the Ogham alphabet as it ties to the different species of trees and each of their properties, and how humanity could change is we recognized the natural world and our connection to each other as sacred. I recommend this if you enjoyed "Braiding Sweetgrass", interested in addressing climate change, or simply enjoy Irish folklore and education about the medicinal properties of plants and trees.

Super interesting book that looks at the loss of Celtic indigenous plant knowledge and how a super smart woman had a chance to learn this info, and then eventually prove the vast majority of it scientifically.
It’s a memoir about one woman’s attempt at changing the tides on climate change.

Excellent story that perfectly blends the wisdom of celtic folklore with modern science. A non-depressing Silent Spring.
