Zen in the Garden: The Japanese Art of Peaceful Gardening (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781964992372)

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter
The seasons come and go, bringing changes both welcome and unexpected

Miki Sakamoto has spent a lifetime tending her garden and reflecting on its mysteries. Why do primulas bloom in snow? Do the trees really 'talk' to one another? What are the black birds saying today? And is there a mindful way to deal with an aphid infestation?

From rising early to walk barefoot on the grass each morning, to afternoons and evenings spent sipping tea in her gazebo or watching fireflies as she recalls her childhood in Japan, in Zen in the Garden Sakamoto shares observations from a life spent in contemplation--and cultivation--of nature.
