Ep 45. Beloved Mr. Beech

02/27/22 • 10 min

One of the gems from The Book of Hope we chatted about last week is Jane Goodall's closest childhood friend, Beech, a beech tree. You see, I have a Mr. Beech, too.
We talk about how beech trees benefit wildlife, how their bark resembles our skin, and how to overcome concerns about being finicky to transplant.

Then, we wrap up our chat with a message of hope from Jane Goodall, reflecting on the havoc and heroes of the pandemic and joys sure to bring a smile.

Ep 44. Nature‘s Inspiration in The Book of Hope

Welcome to our chat from the screen porch about garden and nature stories that help heal and grow our lives.

In this episode, we chat about The Book of Hope by Jane Goodall and Douglas Abrams. Essentially the inspirational book is a dialog with Jane Goodall about her reasons for hope despite the world's increasing troubles. The subtitle— A Survival Guide for Trying Times, but merely surviving seems sad. I like to think of it as A Guide to Growing Hope instead.

Most known for her study of chimpanzees and her mission to protect them by protecting their habitats, Goodall's words will assure you that we still have time to save the natural world and improve the environment.

She explains that each of us can make a difference by taking action. And by doing so, you'll inspire others to do the same.

In this episode, I share a story from Ken Roberts, a dear friend and singing partner at the Karen Ann Quinlan Home for Hospice, who brings a new light to the joy of receiving the gift of cut flowers-- A story that will warm your heart.
