A great little, easy-to-read book that applies basic gardening techniques to one's spiritual well-being. Whether you are an avid gardener or a beginner, a spiritual person or just trying to improve, this little gem can give you the push in the right direction. Having just finished building a rock garden (using almost 24 tons of rocks!) I was given this book as a gift and truly enjoyed its common sense insights, its brief history of rock-gardeing in the United states, and its practical gardening tips.
