Chicken Soup for the Gardener's Soul – 101 Stories to Sow Seeds of Love, Hope, and Laughter
Chicken Soup for the Gardener’s Soul features 101 real-life stories about one of America’s favorite past times. Whether you’re a master gardener, a novice green thumber, or simply an admirer of flowers and green growing things, these stories will truly touch the hearts of anyone who feels connected to the earth. This collection conveys what we gardeners either sense intuitively or know unequivocally that our gardens grow us even more than we grow them.
The contributors range from first-time writers to celebrities such as James Michener and Nelson Mandela. Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen are amongst the team of writers who are joined by co-authors Cynthia Brian, Cindy Buck, Marion Owen, Pat Stone and Carol Sturgulewski. “Although we do have several seasoned writers and authors, our readers will identify and be delighted by the escapades of everyday people who discovered humor, faith, and joy in their backyards,” says Brian.
The collection is a tribute to ordinary people who took the time to write their personal garden experience. Brian fervently believes that gardening is beneficial to everyone, an inspirational gift of “Miracles and magic” that resembles the cycle of life. Connie Goldman, co-author of Tending the Earth Mending the Spirit claims, “I’ve discovered something that heals the soul—the rich brew of stories in this very special Chicken Soup book, the stories that feed our yearning for harmony with nature and nourish our hungry spirits.” Cynthia Brian echoes, “The garden is where I celebrate life and drown my sorrows. It gives me a profound sense of inner peace."
A portion of their sales will be donated to four charities that support gardening and greening: The Home Garden Project, America the Beautiful Fund, American Community and Be the Star You Are!
