Its many gorgeous photos include images of blossoms, bees, and butterflies, moss-covered benches, and stone Buddhas tucked under trees. The text is a collection of gardening-related meditations and investigations based on the Buddha's four foundations of mindfulness: body, feelings, mind, and contemplations (also referred to as phenomena). That may sound heady and indeedThe Meditative Gardeneris full of wisdom but Cheryl Wilfong's writing is joyful and approachable as she weaves in her own experiences to clarify the concepts she presents. --Shambhala Sun, July 2010
