Author: Johnson, Wendy

For over thirty years, Johnson has been meditating and gardening at northern California's Green Gulch Farm Zen Center, where the fields curve like an enormous green dragon between the hills and the ocean. Now she distills a lifetime of hands-on gardening experience into this extraordinary celebration of inner and outer growth, showing how the garden cultivates the gardener. But she is also a lover of the untamed and weedy, evoking through her exquisite prose an abiding appreciation for both the cultivated and the wild Earth. 464 pp.
