In this charming and elegant guide, quotations from the Torah, the Midrash, and the Chasidic Masters blend seamlessly with tips for growing your garden along with observations about dealing with weeds, lawn envy, damn wabbits, the bitterness of horseradish, and the sweetness of raspberry jam. Gorgeously illustrated by artist Abigail Drapkin, The Spiritual Gardener is a gift with many seeds of joy and wisdom.
Andy Becker is a writer, avid gardener, and lifetime learner living in Gig Harbor, Washington with his wife Donna Fisher. During his early years of gardening, he was often frustrated by rocky soil, hills, and too many surrounding trees, slugs, and deer. Despite these challenges Andy has never failed to grow flowers and vegetables every spring and summer. His garden currently includes 8 raised beds, a 30-yard vegetable bed, and 40-yard stretch of raspberry beds.
