The Nature Fix

by Florence Williams (foreword by Danny Summers)

On the final day of The Fall Event 2021,Thursday, September 2, Florence Williams shared details of her book, The Nature Fix. During this hour-long session, she revealed how her life experiences brought her to the point of understanding that became the basis for writing her book. Her work to develop the book took her around the world looking for the science behind our need for nature in our lives.

What we have witnessed in the greatly increased interest in gardening and plants over the last 18 months is evidence of Florence's message. Her book and presentation is the WHY of what we have seen. Prior to Florence's presentation, everyone present was provided a worksheet and assigned the task of making notes of keywords and phrases as they watched and listened to the presentation. These keywords and phrases could be the basis for important marketing messaging in the coming months. Following the presentation, Florence answered questions from the audience.
