HIVE NOTES.
The hum of bees is the voice of the garden.
— Elizabeth Lawrence
We recommend the book Gardening for Love by Elizabeth Lawrence, a renowned American garden writer and plant researcher. Lawrence explores the world of American horticulture, drawing from a vast collection of personal correspondence with fellow gardening enthusiasts. She explores traditional plant lore, herbal remedies, and the unique plant names found in the southern US. They have a copy at Thrift Books here.
Our song of the week is Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell. This timeless hit is a plea for ecological awareness and conservation. During this holiday season we also highly recommend her classic song River, performed with the Canadian Chamber Choir. Listen Here.

GREEN PIONEERS.
Chico Mendes, a Brazilian environmentalist and rubber tapper, played a significant role in the fight against Amazon rainforest destruction. His activism focused on the rights of indigenous peoples and the importance of conserving the rainforest for future generations.
Mendes' approach to environmentalism, which combined social justice with conservation, was revolutionary for his time and continues to influence environmental movements worldwide.
