Blog Review: The Garden's Gift, the Zen of Low Impact Natural GardeningSavvy Vegetarian NewsVol. 2, Issue 2, April 2004Back To Newsletter IndexBeing an obsessive gardener, I'm always delighted to meet others - it's a rather large club. Author Nancy probably doesn't think of herself that way. She describes The Gardens's Gift as an informational website dedicated to the Zen of gardening. Her husband Harlan, publisher of The Green Cutting Board described it as a resource for low impact, natural gardening. And it's all of that. I just spent two pleasant and profitable hours following up the links on The Garden's Gift, and following up links from those links. Now I know where to buy old fashioned wood stoves and no-electicity gas ranges, online. There was gardening stuff at Lehman's, but I never got to it. I also have a list of shade-tolerant flowering & fruiting shrubs to plant a living fence in place of the ugly chain link fence I just pulled down. Nancy comes across as a friendly soul who loves gardening & wants to share knowledge & bliss with other gardeners. Many gardening sites are dry & academic, or intimidating, or just want to sell me lots of expensive stuff. This one is simple & unassuming, low key. Advertising is there, but doesn't intrude. The pictures and stories are wonderful - I loved the one about the turtle rescue performed by husband Harlan. And the Zen of gardening: "Gardening is a form of meditation for me. Whenever I have the chance to get my fingers in the soil, I am transported into my "inner person". A woman after my own heart! See Ode to Spring: Confessions of An Obsessive Organic Gardener The Gardens's Gift makes me want to visit Nancy's garden & trade plants, even though I live in Iowa & she lives in Florida. At least I can visit virtually. Thank you, Nancy! Judy Kingsbury
