It is such a wonderful book. It's allowing me to enjoy the wabi sabi of my own garden and of those around me who put their energy helping nature's richness, and do not obsess over neatness… Getting older is guiding me. Neatness can be costly in terms of someone's body's wear and tear. So many reasons to encourage all insects, all wildlife. We need to re-establish the equilibrium that once existed in our world. Gardening is not just about us enjoying ourselves, it's also helping the planet thrive again. — Jean, Pasadena, California
