A femme with curly dark hair and light skin is crouching in a shallow creek surrounded by rocks and trees.

Terese Gagnon (she/they) is a writer, environmental anthropologist, and teacher. Terese is perinially interested in relationships between plants, food, and memory—especially the forms of care and solidarity they can engender in changing worlds.

Praise

The way Gagnon elucidates the practices of a half dozen farmers and gardeners should be required introductory reading for anyone who dreams of becoming a botanist, plant breeder, or conservation biologist.

To top it off, Gagnon gets a prize for the most evocative and refreshing early-­ career prose I have ever read.
