(16) "Growing a Forest Oasis in the Desert" conversation with Billimarie Robinson
Listen now
Description
After a long journey that took her from writing poems to strangers, to the Shakespeare & Company bookstore café in Paris, and to an immersive writing experience in a forest in Sweden, Billimarie found herself back in her mother's garden. "This is a man-made woods," Billimarie recalled a phrase that had struck her during her time in Sweden. "Man-made," she thought.  Meanwhile, her mother, wise and attuned to nature, understood the needs of her plants instinctively, without relying on science or other methods. Witnessing her mother's connection with nature, Billimarie felt compelled to pass on this knowledge to her own daughter.  What could be more beautiful than nurturing the dream of a greener world, where such a connection is not only cherished but also achievable?  This is why she decided to create her own dream, a forest oasis in the desert.  How did she reach this point?
