About the book:
A Mystic Garden is of course about gardening, affirming the garden as a soulful place where people can take root and can blossom. Any time we make a garden, even a tiny one, we are both working the soil and cultivating our inner ground. There we can become aware of the great gift of life and of the earth that sustains us. John Giuliani’s images introduce each section of the book. A Mystic Garden is a lyrical primer on the spirituality of gardening, affirming the garden as a soulful space where people can take root and experience the changing seasons and the enduring cycle of renewal. Gunilla Norris shares with us a year’s time in her New England garden, and shows that all she observes there illuminates the sacredness of the everyday.
