Cultivating Place: Fruitful Convergence, a conversation with Biologist/Author David George Haskell

So many details make up the nature of a place: the geology, the hydrology, the climate, and the plants of the place – which are often dictated by the PLACE of a place, meaning its actual position on the planet. And while I think most of us know this instinctively, the soundscape of a place is another signature of our gardens.

David George Haskell is a perfect example of a cultivator of place through deep observation & research. His love of the world’s intricacies is a delight, and he joins Cultivating Place for a generous conversation this week to explore the arc of his research and writing, understood through the lens of his title: Sounds Wild and Broken.

You might never hear your garden, or the world, the same again. Listen in this week!
