I’m looking for a relaxing read that might feel like a meditation within nature almost. I started to read Rooted by Lyanda Lynn Haupt but it wasn’t really what I was looking for. Can be fiction or non-fiction.
Braiding sweetgrass,
the salt path
Maybe try something of Robert macfarlane , for example the old ways.
Please let me know if you liked anything!

The Way Through The Woods by Long Litt Woon is by a woman who takes up mushrooming in the wake of her grief over her husband’s death. Lots of connection to nature, very personal, gentle, features mushrooms but also plants and animals and so on.

my family and other animals by gerald durrell. it’s nonfiction and durrell was a famous naturologist – his writing almost conjures the colors, landscapes, leaves, and bugs and animals that durrell saw living in greece

Mary Oliver’s poetry has themes of nature. Try “Devotions: The Selected Poems of Mary Oliver”

Ursula Le Guin’s short story “Vaster Than Empires and More Slow” is about humans finding a planet where all the plant life is linked and forms a single, world sized consciousness. It’s very beautiful, and partly about one troubled character finding peace and wholeness.
