Description
A nature enthusiast and knowledgeable communicator, Fabien Girard has the art of sharing the many secrets of the plants, trees and shrubs of the boreal forest.
In 2008, his essay "Plant Secrets" was quickly recognized for its originality and the tone he adopted to popularize a subject often off-putting to laymen. Five years later, he returns with as many fascinating stories as he does new discoveries.
For him, nature places everything at our feet. All we have to do is open our eyes and reach out. A biologist by training, this researcher never stops observing Quebec's infinite plant wealth with the aim of extracting its most hidden mysteries. "Considering what's happening in our forest reserves, before long, people will be more concerned about what grows on and under the ground," he likes to say with a mischievous smile.
The alchemist of the Nordic forest is eager to share his passion and spread his love of plants by savoring their aromas and tasting their scents. His insightful observations will surprise you.
