For her second appearance on the Mark Fraley Podcast, we interview Joanna Brichetto about her new book, This Is How A Robin Drinks, Essays on Urban Nature. Joanna is a Certified Tennessee Naturalist and the producer of the well known blog/Instagram called Sidewalk Nature.
The book consists of 52 essays, arranged by seasons (Summer, Winter, Spring Fall). She shares amazingly detailed observations and stories of natural things which are available for us all to see on our city streets and park, but which we often miss.
Embedded within the interview is a special message/lesson for the managers of city parks everywhere. Pictured below is Joanna with the Nashville Mustard at Nashville’s Elmington Park.
