Gardeners everywhere will relish the return of this beloved book! In this updated 15th anniversary edition, Monaghan offers fresh advice and guidance for creating a soul-nourishing magical garden. You can discover the best plants for your site - being heedful of sun exposure, soil type, and climate zone - and learn about composting, pests, weeds, organic gardening, and caring for plants at all growth stages. You can celebrate each season with rituals, meditations, and prayers. This book also features more than a dozen themed designs for gardens that you can re-create in your own backyard - sacred gardens that honour angels, Aphrodite, cats, dragons, fairies, Kwan-Yin, the sun, and more.
The only reason this gets 4 instead of 5 stars is the assumption, for most of the book, that you at least have an acre or so of yard/garden space. There was only 1-2 container gardens, very sad for an apartment dweller like me. The book is worth reading regardless of your space for the inspirational valuee alone.
