Our relationship with our garden mirrors our relationship with all the world - nourishing, reciprocal, deeply connected. Taking inspiration from the words of writers, artists, and great Zen thinkers, this book recounts the incomparable satisfaction we can achieve by working in harmony with nature instead of battling against it...and reminds us of the lessons we can learn, and the joy we can reap, through gardening.
I am a yoga instructor who formerly was a landscape designer, and this tiny book is the most important book in my garden book collection. I bought this book even before I became a garden designer, before I amassed a library of design and garden books that are now gathering dust, and way before I became a yoga instructor because the message is simple yet profound. Truly experiencing what life has to offer involves learning to practice mindfulness, being fully present in every moment, and what better place to start than in your own garden -- just being and experiencing, and not always doing. Read a chapter a day and you will not only cultivate your outside garden but also your inner garden.Namaste....
