A Love Letter for the Garden-Centered Life: 52 weeks of growing, gathering, and living a well-tended life - Hardcover

by Sara Rubens (Author)

A garden asks for your attention, but it also rewards it. Over time, I've learned that the same is true of life.

This book is a collection of 52 weekly reflections I've shared over the course of many seasons with the Seed to Sanctuary community. They were never meant to be just gardening how-to's or seasonal recipes (though you'll find plenty of both). They are glimpses into a life shaped by the garden; a life where dirt under your nails feels like grounding, where a sun-warmed tomato is reason enough to pause, and where tending plants becomes a way to tend the self. Each week, you'll find simple advice for growing food, inspiration for what to cook, and gentle nudges toward a well-tended life; one rooted in rhythm, beauty, and intention. This is not a book to rush through. Dip into it seasonally, weekly, or whenever you need a little dirt-and-soul nourishment. Let it meet you where you are; in your garden, your kitchen, or your quiet moments of longing for a slower way of being. Welcome to the sanctuary.
