[close] Hey there! My name's Tigrilla Gardenia, and I am a Nature-Inspired Mentor, Leadership Coach, and World Ambassador for Plant Intelligence. The founder of the Naturally Conscious Community and the seminal course, ReConnect with the Plant Kingdom, I love to empower healers, creatives, and entrepreneurs who love nature to consciously discover the elements of Life that nourish you to flourish. I love all things plant intelligence, plant communication, and plant cognition. That's why I host monthly masterclasses, group mentoring, and created the ReConnect with Plant Wisdom Book Club, where you can join us as we read along and discuss the best books about plant-inspired knowledge. Below you will find Book Club picks and my favorite books about the intelligence of plants. I'd love to hear about what you're reading. For more information about me and how to reach me, check out my website: www.tigrillagardenia.com.

[close] The whole of nature, of the cosmos is nothing short of miraculous. I draw inspiration and joy from the natural world and all of its wonders, and if you do as well, join and share which book have helped inspire you. Perhaps we can help each other discover interesting and provocative nature titles. The goal of this group is to explore books, fiction and non-fiction, that highlight the natural world, particularly those that stoke the imagination.

[close] The goal of this reading group is to be curious and to explore an array of biological topics by reading textbooks chosen by the group. The hope is that this approach will allow us to slowly study, review and/or ponder these topics as we help each other along. We will travel through the realms of cell and microbiology to the broad topics of ecology and conservation. The close to two million species currently existing on Earth will become our learning tools to understand life as it has evolved on the fragile third planet orbiting a yellow star - the Earth.
