What Can a Serviceberry Teach Us? About Gardening—and About Each Other. What if abundance isn’t something we possess, but something we share? In The Serviceberry book Robin Wall Kimmerer invites us to see nature—and our gardens—as a web of generosity, reciprocity, gratitude, and connection.Plants feed pollinators. Birds spread seeds. Gardens nourish us. What do we give back? Join fellow New England gardeners for a discussion to explore what our gardens can teach us about abundance, community, and caring for one another. Read The Serviceberry before the conference. Purchase at Amazon. Bring your thoughts. Bring your stories. Join the conversation.
