This is a beautiful book of quotes, photography, drawings, and reflections on nature from Rosemary Gladstar, a highly respected herbalist.

This would make a perfect coffee table or gift book for the nature/garden lovers in your life. It's one to come back to again and again.

It's organized by theme, with reflection questions throughout, but you can also open up the book to any page and enjoy what's there. I especially enjoyed the pages with different plants (violets, dandelion, nettles, etc.) and papers dyed to match their colors with a short description of their uses/meaning.

Thank you to Storey Publishing and Netgalley for the advanced read ebook. I look forward to adding a physical copy to my shelves when the book comes out in April!

This is a sweet coffee table type of book full of beautiful photos and quotes about plants. I adore Rosemary Gladstar. She is the grandmother of herbalism and such an inspiration. Do keep in mind that this is more of a gift book to enjoy rather than an educational book like most of her herbal books.

I read a temporary digital loan of this book for review.

A nice meditative book with great wisdom and appreciation for plants.
It helps you feel more connected to nature.
The design, perhaps because this was an ARC, could have been more nuanced and fresh.
3.5 stars.

This is the kind of book you give someone who already has a deep love of plants and wants a better knowledge. The pictures were beautiful and overall I really enjoyed reading this.

The Generosity of Plants : Shared Wisdom from the Community of Herb Lovers. This is a beautiful gift book for plant and nature lovers. It is meditative and poetic and is more spiritual than an encyclopaedia of plants themselves. The illustrations and photographs are beautiful, and the author shares her 50 years of herbal wisdom in reflective and earth nourishing form. Just browsing through the pages makes you feel in tune with nature and wafted over with luscious smells and the freshest of air.

This gorgeous collection from herbalist icon Rosemary Gladstar is like a warm hug for anyone who loves plants and herbal healing. Filled with reflections and wisdom from Gladstar and a variety of herbal experts, it explores everything from the sacredness of plants to the joy of gardening and wildcrafting. Stunning photos and heartfelt insights make this book a true treasure, perfect for anyone looking to deepen their connection to the plant world. It’s part inspiration, part education, and 100% rooted in gratitude for the Earth. 🌱
