Mary Rothwell, licensed therapist, certified forest therapy practitioner, coach, and host of the podcast No Shrinking Violets, will celebrate the official launch of her debut book, Nature Knows: Grow and Thrive through the Wisdom of Plants, with a free community event on Tuesday, May 12, 2026 at 6 PM at Evermore Events, 945 N Plum Street, Lancaster, PA.

Drawing on over 35 years of professional experience and her background as a Master Gardener, Rothwell introduces the Essential Nature framework, the idea that every person has an inborn blueprint that governs how they grow, rest, and thrive. Her central message: you are not failing at life. You may simply be growing in the wrong conditions.
The launch party is open to the public and will feature refreshments, swag, prizes, a live author Q&A, and a book signing. Space is limited, and registration is required.
