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.

Joanna is such a gift to not only those of us that love the natural world around us but to those that simply see the beauty of our natural urban environment. I love “This Is How A Robin Drinks” and because of Jo, I am a huge new fan of the Hackberry Tree. Thanks for this podcast.
Thank you !!
