For more than 30 years, Wendy Johnson has been meditating and gardening at the Green Gulch Farm Zen Center in northern California. Renowned for its pioneering role in California’s food revolution, Green Gulch provides choice produce to farmers’ markets. Now Johnson has distilled her lifetime of experience into this extraordinary celebration of inner and outer growth, showing how the garden cultivates the gardener even as she digs beds, heaps up compost, plants flowers and fruit trees, and harvests bushels of organic vegetables. Wendy Johnson is a lay Dharma teacher ordained by Thich Nhat Hanh. As a wife and mother of two, Wendy combines her 30-year training in organic agriculture with a commitment to teaching meditation engaged with the world.
