Lessons From My Garden: 52 Reflections On Organic Gardening & Creative Living

When Nicola Newman was 28 years old her health had deteriorated to the point where eating conventionally grown vegetables (that is, vegetables sprayed with chemicals) caused her severe pain. So she bought a small acreage and transformed her back-yard into an organic veggie patch. Having spent several years growing her own organic food, and then teaching hundreds of others how to do the same through her online programs, she knows first-hand the benefits of gardening to support your wellbeing and health. With her background as a professional artist, she encourages readers to embrace their garden as a safe space to express their creativity and weaves together lessons she learnt about taking care of herself amidst illness. In this insightful and practical collection, Nicola Newman shares 52 inspiring stories from her blog about her gardening adventures, interwoven with lessons in creative living and personal growth, giving you the courage and inspiration to put your hands in the soil and grow your own abundant veggie patch. You can read one story each week throughout the year or the complete collection right through. Either way, Nicola's ability to bring a light-hearted approach to trying something new and emphasis on being kind to yourself along the way will open your eyes to the delights found in nature, the wisdom of living in seasons, and the joy of growing a garden. Lessons from My Garden is a gentle yet hands-on book that will leave you inspired to plant a seed, cultivate your dreams, follow your heart and create a garden that supports you with joy, wonder and delight.
