Essays and stories to inspire us to nurture diverse, meaningful
relationships with gardens and landscapes. The garden is a
powerful, generous way of looking at the world. As beautiful
spaces, gardens fill us with hope and wonder. As gathering places,
they nurture friendships and communities. Thoughtfully crafted,
they make us pause and appreciate our surroundings. Full of edible
plants, they nourish us. Full of diversity - human and non-human -
they connect us with the polychromatic world in which we live. They
make us feel at home in our own bodies, in our cities, and on our
planet. Through stories and essays, The Calming Garden invites
readers on a journey to understand gardens as places where we build
mutually beneficial relationships with the living world around us.
Each chapter in the book is dedicated to a specific idea or element
of the garden, from places where gardens grow (i.e. a driveway in
San Francisco, a bathtub as a planter, etc.) to garden management
(why some lawns need watering every few days, and some gardens can
go almost a full year without irrigation), to color and texture
(i.e. how fine-textured plants like grasses can be used to unify a
space), and everything in between. Perfect for home gardeners,
landscape designers, or as a gift for the gardener in your life,
The Calming Garden is an ode to the wonders, designs, and habitats
that live within a garden, and an inspiration to nurture diverse,
meaningful relationships with the gardens and landscapes around us.
