Conscious Gardening: Practical and Metaphysical Expert Advice to Grow Your Garden Organically

by Michael J. Roads

Techniques for biodynamic and organic gardening combine with spiritual knowledge in this guide to planting in tune with the earth. Written by an expert gardener who had an awakening into consciousness while landscaping, the handbook offers both practical knowledge on the physical aspects of gardening—such as mulching, compost, compounds, insects, and soil protection—as well as the more metaphysical side—such as the spirit of the land, garden energy, and the unseen connections to the earth. This passionate and applicable resource shows that by switching to a “being-with” outlook from a “doing-to” attitude, growers will develop gorgeous flowers, herbs, and vegetables as well as a deep affection for nature.

A good book on how to begin to consciously connect on a energetic and spirit level with your garden. Some parts are a bit dry to ready but the author gets his points across quite well. Everything around us is alive. Every plant and tree is alive. The soil is alive. As a spiritual person I am already aware of this but for those who are just starting to look at things from a place of spirit it may not be so obvious.

This book gave me some new ideas to try.

Excellent book on organic gardening, seen through the eyes of Nature and a farmer.
