Think Like a Gardener - by Niya Brown Matthews (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Gardening expert Niya is "coming to you live from the garden" to teach practical planting know-how rooted in our real-life experiences. Niya walks aspiring gardeners through each stage of cultivating with helpful, easy-to-understand instructions--but she adds philosophical depth to her gardening teachings that'll take you beyond basics to plant your most successful harvest yet!

In this holistic guide to planting for abundance, Niya gets you thinking about the connections between your life and your garden. For example: You know you won't be able to thrive without the right environment--well, your plants won't either! Try testing and adjusting the pH levels or adding organic matter to your soil. They can't grow tall without the right foundation. Or, in our own lives, we know that growth takes time and isn't always linear, even when it frustrates us. The same is true with pruning: We can cut back parts of a plant, which may seem counterintuitive, but will help it grow back better.

Niya's encouraging approach to life in the garden makes average gardeners into great ones by teaching not only practical knowledge but also how to think deeply about the seeds you plant.
