What if there were a low-intervention way to garden - some reciprocal arrangement through which both you and your soil got fed with the minimum degree of fuss, effort and guilt, for the maximum measure of healthy, organic growth?

This book weaves together botany, philosophy and mindfulness, yet remains grounded in practical gardening know-how. Learn to think from the ground up, and follow the pattern of a plant's growth through the seasons - roots, shoots, flowers, and fruits - while increasing awareness of your surroundings.
