I’ve learned the most from what did not go as the clematis I pruned at the wrong time, the houseplants that I drowned, or the hostas I generously provided as an all-you-can-eat buffet to the local deer population.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStephen Orr has written about gardening for most of his decades-long career, and now, in \u003ci\u003eThe Gardener’s Mindset\u003c\/i\u003e, he brings his musings and advice to gardeners everywhere, no matter their skill level. With distinct lessons that range from how to be waterwise to cultivating plants in woodland and deer-plagued lands and building planters in an urban setting to nurturing plants as they grow and what to look out for when buying seeds and other necessary tools, \u003ci\u003eThe Gardener’s Mindset\u003c\/i\u003e explores our relationship to plants and nature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOrr also reflects on his own gardening journey, starting with his foliage garden in Des Moines, where he was challenged to grow plants in the dry shade around the roots of tall trees. There, he fell in love with the patterns and colors of leafy plants like lungworts and epimediums as a focal point. He remembers his first New York City apartment, where he created a container garden that included old roses, herbs, perennials, and even trees on a Chelsea rooftop eight stories above the street. And he shares how his Cape Cod garden is a work in progress but serves as his experimental lab, where he can observe and learn the ways plants want to exist in nature. Orr’s essays tap into the emotional sense of well-being that gardeners experience when digging in the getting closer to nature while entering a state of creative flow where their thoughts are allowed free rein.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith easy gardening projects, practical advice, and full-color photographs throughout, \u003ci\u003eThe Gardener’s Mindset\u003c\/i\u003e is a beautiful gift book for anyone interested in the analog pleasures of being outdoors.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Clarkson Potter","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43635451854883,"sku":null,"price":1399.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0281\/3607\/9395\/files\/81lQragX8_L._SL1500.jpg?v=1786283007","url":"https:\/\/champaca.in\/products\/the-gardeners-mindset","provider":"Champaca Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
