This Beautiful Earth: Gardening as a Spiritual Practice Will Parfitt

This book contains many stories that have a spiritual take on gardening that can connect you to a deeper, older archetypal rhythm, the rhythm of nature and the earth herself, something collective that we grasp when we put our hands deep into the soil - or should that be soul? We can learn to approach a garden as a pilgrim on a journey of discovery, not as a missionary who knows everything beforehand. The garden then becomes this beautiful earth in which each of us lives and grows in a continuing journey of exploration.
