“I’m delighted to be able to introduce my book to fellow plant parents across the anglophone world. In 2025, we need the wisdom of each and every individual in our communities, now more than ever. During this time, I hope that the stories of plants – their concentrated wisdom unfolding according to the laws of growth – will help make readers a little more optimistic. Spring is just around the corner here in Korea. Both my plants and I, despite the cold, are feeling its gentle approach. I look forward to meeting you in this wonderful season.”
