Conscious Gardening

Michael Roads, author of several popular books on gardening and metaphysics, describes this book as chatty in tone. He tells of falling in love with gardening as a child when his father introduced him to vegetable growing.

He suggests that by bringing the attitude of a student into your garden you will be able to meet with Nature and enter into the marvels and magic of metaphysical gardening. He urges the gardener not to do battle with Nature, but to engage with Nature, “being with” rather that “doing to.”

Roads writes for many climates, about ornamental and food plants, about lawns, pets, and paramagnetic energy. The book combines stories from his many years of gardening with specific information about building soil, mulching, and the science of soils. His detailed table of contents makes using the book as a resource very easy, but the style invites a full reading. This book offers an inviting way to move beyond the visible garden to the spirit and energy garden.
