People who love this world, people who pay attention, are gardeners, whether or not they have ever picked up a trowel. Because gardening is not just about digging. Gardening is about cherishing. And to cherish, one must be present.

Garden columnist, Henry Mitchell, wrote that one day we would all die, but that the questions is how we spent our days. Were we fidgeting over moles and fungi and varmints, or glorying, year by year, in the daffodils? Terry talks about opening our heart to the rhythms of the garden. Learning to practice the sacrament of the blessed present. Working to embrace the demanding marriage of loving and losing. Cultivating appreciation for ordinary gifts of grace, the value of solitude, and the healing power of nature. Terry's stories will lead you to nurture your soul and renew your sense of what it means to live fully alive.
