Tender Seasons is a love letter to the garden. Part how-to guide, part metaphor, the book is an asset to anyone who is learning to grow cut flowers, or trying to find their creative place in the world. Full of whimsical illustrations, gentle prompts, and helpful tips; the pages and tasks are broken down by the seasons of the garden - while also relating them to the seasons of a creative life. Throughout it all, the author weaves her reflections and notes from the growing journey, inviting us to consider: What lessons can we learn from our gardens?
