Mindful Gardening

When you devote time and energy to growing plants and flowers, it is richly rewarding; in doing so, you care for nature and the planet, as well as create a beautiful space. This book celebrates the joy of doing just that, with a carefully curated selection of quotes and inspirational photography, as well as advice and simple suggestions on nurturing your own outdoor space, no matter how big or small. Quotes include: 'To nurture a garden is to feed not just the body, but the soul.' – Alfred Austin 'When I go into the garden with a spade and dig a bed, I feel such an exhilaration and health that I discover that I have been defrauding myself all this time in letting others do for me what I should have done with my own hands.' – Ralph Waldo Emerson 'Life begins the day you start a garden.' – Chinese proverb
