Ecologist Robin Wall Kimmerer invites us into the secret world of mosses. We discover how these unassuming plants thrive in the margins, weaving intricate relationships with fungi, bacteria, and their human caretakers. As Kimmerer shares her personal journey of exploring moss habitats, we learn to see the forest anew - through the eyes of these resilient, ancient organisms that have much to teach us about living in harmony with the natural world.
