Gardening, like mindfulness, is a way of finding a sense of calm in an otherwise chaotic world, a simpler existence, even if it is only for a few minutes. Both forge a connection to the world around us, to nature and wildlife, which can bring pleasure and peace. In this beautifully illustrated guide, horticulturalist Holly Farrell provides a blueprint for a more contemplative way to garden, including meditations and inspiration, as well as projects: growing something from seed, planting a tree, and creating a mandala.
