Ep 87. Gentle Strength of Umbrella Pine

In this episode, we chat about Umbrella Pine, a living fossil dating back to when dinosaurs walked our world. The same is true of Ginkgo biloba, which we spoke about in episode 85.There's a lesson in their endurance: The gentle outlasts the strong, referring to the wisdom of the Tao Te Ching, an ancient philosophy to live our true peaceful nature in the rhythm of nature.  Link to Related Stories:Gentle Strength of Umbrella Pine Enduring Hope of Gingko TreesTickle and Rub Mycorrhizae Forest Bathing and Wandering Willowwood Arboretum  ***I'd love to hear about your garden and nature stories.
