Thankful: A Thousand Ways to Pay Attention, Rebecca Schiller

Cultivating Place: Conversations on Natural History and the Human Impulse to Garden

Dear All, Rebecca Schiller is a gardener, a smallholding steward, an activist, and author of: A Thousand Ways to Pay Attention, A Memoir of Coming Home to My Neurodivergent Mind – about grounding back to land, place, and garden - even after a surprising diagnosis of severe ADHD. Schiller’s writing and her gardening-life vividly reminds us all that being different doesn’t have to mean broken – in our minds, our hearts, or our gardens. This narrative and this discussion remind us that it is the many ways in which we pay attention in this world that shows what and whom we value and everyone and everything for which we are thankful. And it is so very often our gardens that remind us not only of where we are but who we are. Listen in this week! Cultivating Place now has a donate button!
