Moveable Gardens
Itineraries and Sanctuaries of Memory
Edited by Virginia D. Nazarea and Terese Gagnon
The University of Arizona Press
Moveable Gardens explores the ways people make sanctuaries with plants and other traveling companions in the midst of ongoing displacement in today’s world. This volume addresses how the destruction of homelands, fragmentation of habitats, and post-capitalist conditions of modernity are countered by the remembrance of tradition and the migration of seeds, which are embodied in gardening, cooking, and community building.

Embodying Biodiversity
Sensory Conservation as Refuge and Sovereignty
Edited by Terese Gagnon
The University of Arizona Press
This interdisciplinary volume argues for the importance of everyday sensuous conservation and its ability to grow diverse, livable worlds where human embodiment is understood as part of—not separate from—plant life. Contributors argue that the majority of biodiversity conservation worldwide is carried out not by large-scale conservation projects but by ordinary people engaging in sensory-motivated, caretaking relationships with specific plants.
