Have you ever thought about plants and trees beyond an appreciation of their beauty and essence to how essential they are to life? Newer research has yielded a more complete understanding about the secret lives of plants and trees. Our study group will delve into such questions as how they are sustained, how they interact, do plants or trees recognize each other, do they have memory, what are their interactions with each other, with animals, birds, and insects? What role do plants and trees play in climate control? Readings in The Light Eaters: The New Science of Plant Intelligence (Harper Collins, 2024) by Zoe Schlanger and The Hidden Life of Trees: What they Feel, How They Communicate (Greystone Books, 2016, originally published 2015) by Peter Wohlleben will give us a glimpse into the struggles and strategies of plants and trees to evolve and sustain themselves and their importance on a global level. We will supplement the books with articles, videos, guest speakers and nature encounters.
