There is a long association between the joy of gardening and the spiritual life. This relationship is explored here with a meditation on one or occasionally more plants per day, from Advent to Shrove Tuesday and the Solemnities and Saints' days of this period.
As with each of the books in the series, each day's plant is presented with cultivation notes and a fascinating glimpse into its history and lore, followed by a 'towards meditation' section, the themes of which are deepened by suggested Bible readings from the liturgy of the day. The author follows the Church as she prepares for Lent and considers plants appropriate to liturgical themes.
