A Celebration of Poetry and Native Plants @ Museum of Early Trades & Crafts

Welcome April! In celebration of both National Poetry Month and Earth Day, we have partnered with the
Native Plant Society of New Jersey, Montclair State University, The Nature of Reading Bookshop for an
inspired reading of rich, contemporary gardening poems that celebrate our desire to tend the nonhuman
world around us. The readings are from Leaning Toward Light: Poems for Gardens & the Hands That Tend
Them by Tess Taylor and Ann E. Wallace, co-hosts of The WildStory Podcast. As a complement to the poetry
the program will also feature practical tips from native plant expert Dr. Randi Eckel in a highly anticipated,
first live Q & A session of Ask Randi. A book signing and copies of Leaning Toward Light will be available for
sale through The Nature of Reading Bookshop. Space is limited, so registration is required.
