Helen Humphreys returns to her series of nature meditations in this gorgeously written and illustrated book that takes a deep look at the forgotten world of herbariums and the people who amassed collections of plant specimens in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Over the course of a year, Humphreys considers life and loss and the importance of finding solace in nature.
