In this beautiful reframing of the botanical, he reveals the extent and kind of that awareness through a bumper crop of research.

More plywood than plants." He was charmed by a tiny Japanese-designed, moss-covered cottage. "What does moss know?" he pondered. "Moss doesn't really care. Give me water and light and let me just sit here and hang out and photosynthesise, that's what moss knows."
