Discover how peace and tranquility have been tapped through the
personal stories of ordinary people, ordinary gardens, and
extraordinary spaces. As professional horticulturalists, as husband
and wife, and now as authors, Michel and Judy Marcellot explore
motivations to garden for peace, for balance, for relaxation, for
contemplation, and to memorialize loved ones. Above all, they find
joy expressed within and through gardening. Personal stories show
how the simple act of gardening changed lives and individuals. The
authors chronicle their own paths from naive and idealistic,
back-to-the-earth entrepreneurs who wanted to "be of service to the
planet, and have a good time doing it," to respected
horticulturists and sought after speakers who still embody the same
ideals as when they started out.Examples illustrate varied elements
of sacred sites and suggest ways readers might create the sacred in
their own gardens. Read on and see how ordinary gardeners can
attain their own backyard bliss.
