As beautiful spaces, gardens fill us with hope and wonder. As gathering places, they nurture friendships and communities. Thoughtfully crafted, they make us pause and appreciate our surroundings. Full of edible plants, they nourish us. Full of diversity – human and non-human – they connect us with the polychromatic world in which we live. They make us feel at home in our own bodies, in our cities, and on our planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough stories and essays, \u003cem\u003eThe Calming Garden\u003c\/em\u003e invites readers on a journey to understand gardens as places where we build mutually beneficial relationships with the living world around us.
