What activity can be more suitable than gardening to apply the new trends in meditation and mindfulness?
Meditation and the art of gardening explores growing plants as an exercise for both the body and mind. Ark Redwood, chief gardener at Chalice Well - one of Britain's most iconic gardens, which are part of the Red World Peace Gardens - guides us through the practical practice of growing plants, expands our awareness of what is alive and, in addition, offers us its experience as a way of understanding full consciousness in the environment of nature.
Following chapter by chapter the succession of the seasons, we find the magic of compost, the power of flowering and the capacity of seeds. This work constitutes an essential reading for those who intend to apply the dimension of full consciousness to their way of feeling the cultivation of plants.
