Unconventional and utterly delightful, this gardening book encourages tuning into nature's rhythms and practicing mindfulness while cultivating and enjoying the space just outside your home. The "how-to" tips lean toward the philosophical (how to dig a hole, hear a bird, stand still, pick an apple…), but To Stand and Stare is rich with botanical and ecological insight, as well. So, prepare to "think like a plant" and discover an inspiring stress-free approach to yard maintenance. (CH)
