A statement from Camille:

“I am deeply honored by this recognition from The Council on Botanical & Horticultural Libraries. And even more honored to learn that SOIL is receiving the 2024 Award of Excellence in Garden and Nature Writing!

One of the things I consider in SOIL is why seeking out and supporting more expansive, interconnected, and diverse representations of the living world might take us a long way toward supporting a more sustainably vibrant planet.

It means the world to me to receive this recognition, for the subject matter and writing of SOIL, from a group dedicated to libraries (one of my great loves!) and botanical and horticultural matters (another great passion!) Truly, I am deeply honored. Thank you!”
